Description
The title for this month is The Radium Girls: the Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore.
Hundreds of girls toil amidst the glowing dust of the radium-dial factories. But the factories that once offered golden opportunities are now ignoring all claims of the gruesome side effects. And as the fatal poison of the radium takes hold, the brave “shining girls” find themselves embroiled in one of the biggest scandals of America's early 20th century, and in a groundbreaking battle for workers' rights that will echo for centuries to come.
