Kellee asked Kate Moore:

I loved The Radium Girls. Has to be one of the best books I've ever read. These women were incredible; what they went through and they continued to work and to deal with the legal system. I am unsure why there aren't documentaries on them. I was checking online and youtube when I was reading the book; trying to find something. These women should be more well-known than they are. Why?

Kate Moore Hi Kellee! Thanks for your question and apologies for my crazy-slow response. I really appreciate you reading and your lovely words about the book! Thank you. As to the lack of documentaries, there was one made back in the 1980s, called Radium City, but historically that was the only one, and it was really more about the legacy of contamination than the girls' personal stories. Since then, the women have featured a couple of times as episodes in series, I believe. I'm not sure why no one has done it - I genuinely think they were forgotten about, the whole episode covered up. Thank you for taking time to remember them and learn more about their story. All best wishes, Kate
