ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Radium Girls by Kate Moore tells the gripping and tragic story of young women who worked in factories painting watch dials with radium-based paint in the early 20th century. Initially unaware of the dangers, they were exposed to harmful radiation that led to severe health issues. The book explores themes of corporate negligence, the exploitation of workers, and the fight for justice. Through the personal experiences of these women, Moore highlights the broader issues of industrial safety, gender inequality, and the resilience of those seeking accountability in the face of systemic abuse and public indifference.
