The Radium Girls:  the Dark Story of America's Shining Women is a story about a time in America's past history I did not know about.  In the early 1900s girls in New Jersey and Illinois were hired to paint radium iridescence onto watch and clock faces- remember Baby Ben alarm clocks?  Of course the young girls were unaware of the dangers and as they became ill and died they fought for justice for themselves and others as the company fought back every step of the way-some things never change!  Hard to read but very informative!  SW
