The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore

dark emotional informative sad slow-paced

3.0

Clearly a lot of research. Grew more interesting as the book transitioned away from introducing a huge number of "characters" and into describing the medical and legal battles. 

Didn't like the tendency to make up situations and real people's thoughts for the sake of painting a picture. Also had a weird focus on describing how attractive the women were -- and continuously calling them girls no matter how old they were.
