Radium Girls was an in depth look at the women that changed the face of occupational safety standards, workplace compensation laws, and quite literally being the force behind understanding the long term impacts and effects of radium exposure. This book focused on the women themselves, and their journeys as they started to fall ill, struggle to get a diagnosis, fight to be listened to, and demand justice for the lies they were told while doing their jobs as dial painters to the best of their abilities. It's a tragic story, and an important one. A timely reminder that no one will fight for your rights if you don't. Stand up, and be heard.
