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

challenging dark hopeful informative sad medium-paced

3.5

I wish this book was more focused and also knew what it was. It cannot decide if it wants to be a story based in reality or a documentation of events that happened in the US between 1914 and 1991 (approximately). Hence it reads quite oddly. Do not pick up if you are not interested in this story and don’t have any prior knowledge.
On the positive side the story itself is really captivating, I loved the exploration of how gender affected how long it took for justice to be ruled and everything in this book.
