The most moving book I have ever read! (Jill) The untold historical story of the Radium Dial painters in 1917 (WWI effort), and young girls heroism and stoicism in fighting the "system" legal, big business and the medical profession for the real diagnosis. A diagnoses compounded by the emotional and stoic fight for compensation for their families due to the eminent effect of radium - their passing. This is the legal case that brought OSHA into being. Reading this, you will see OSHA with a different perspective.
Heartfelt, based upon the girls personal notes and diaries; as well as the author's, Kate Moore, personal conversations with the descendants of these girls. Non-fiction that reads as fiction.
Copies available at the library - Book Discussion September 28th @ 7PM.
