The Radium Girls

the Dark Story of America's Shining Women

Interesting history. However, the author's writing is extremely redundant, and makes keeping track of each character very difficult. Interrsting for the first couple of chapters, but becomes very labored after that. I'd recommend reading an excerpt rather than the whole book. Additionally, the history of the radium girls is very closely tied to de-unionization that characterized the 20th century United States, as well as general workers rights issues and issues with regulation of business, which the author does not effectively highlight.
