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

A heart-wrenching recounting of industrial exploitation of young girls in the early 1900’s who were told that radium would not harm them and would in fact benefit them. The cancer, sarcoma and amputations are hard to read about. And the it was still going on in 1978!! An incredible tale of how corporations will exploit workers at any expense and fight in court to deny any responsibility.
