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

dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.75

My only issue with this book was the length. While I understand telling the full story, at times the chapters seemed to drag. 

Otherwise, it has been a long time since I read a story that made me feel all the emotions possible, from disgust to hope. This was an absolutely wonderful read.
