M’s Reviews > The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women > Status Update

It’s crazy how in depth the go into what the effects of radium were on these victims and it’s sad how those on the company’s side kept being like “oh the girls were already ill before working at the factory”

Like the science is there yall

It’s interesting so far. It really shows how sometimes women’s symptoms are disregarded and it’s been a thing since the beginning of medicine.

Although I wonder..they knew phosphorus and mercury were dangerous. Why did they think radium would be any better? I’m shocked they thought it was a safer option.
