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

A short summary of Radium Girls:

All about the Radium Dial Painters, the devastating consequences of their jobs, and the industrial safety standards created because of them.

"Radium had been known to be harmful since 1901. Every death since was unnecessary."

How much responsibility does a company have toward its workers?

When should the government step in?

The story is tragic.

I am saddened by how many organizations failed these women.

Engrossing stories and solid research.

I wonder if something like this could happen again?
