This powerful work of historical nonfiction tells the true story of the young women who worked in radium-dial factories in the early 20th century, unknowingly exposed to deadly radiation. Lured by good wages and the glamour of glowing paint, they painted watch dials with radium-laced brushes, even licking the tips to perfect their strokes. As their health began to deteriorate, they faced denial and cover-ups from the companies that had promised them safety. Refusing to be silenced, these women fought a groundbreaking legal battle that changed workplace safety standards forever. Their courage and determination paved the way for modern labor rights, despite the devastating personal cost. Haunting and deeply moving, this book sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in history. Their legacy continues to protect workers to this day.
