ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Radium Girls” by Kate Moore tells the true story of a group of young women who worked as dial-painters in the early 20th century, using radium to paint glowing numbers on watches and clocks. Unaware of the dangers, they were exposed to toxic levels of radiation, leading to serious health issues. The book explores themes of corporate negligence, the struggle for justice, and the fight for workers' rights, particularly for women. Through the stories of these women, Moore highlights the consequences of industrial exploitation and the long battle for legal and medical recognition of their suffering.
