The Radium Girls
The Dark Story of America's Shining Women (Harrowing Historical Nonfiction Bestseller About a Courageous Fight for Justice)
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of Americas Shining Women by Kate Moore, published April 18, 2017, is a harrowing narrative nonfiction that chronicles the young factory workers who painted luminous watch dials with radium in the early 20th century, the devastating health effects they suffered, and their courageous legal battle that exposed corporate negligence and helped create modern workplace safety standards. Moore combines meticulous research, vivid personal stories, and courtroom drama to illuminate both the human cost of industrial progress and the determination of the women who fought for justice. The book serves as both a tribute to their resilience and a stark reminder of the need for ethical oversight in science and industry.
