Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 6x1x9; The Curies' newly discovered element of radium makes gleaming headlines across the nation as the fresh face of beauty, and wonder drug of the medical community. From body lotion to tonic water, the popular new element shines bright in the otherwise dark years of the First World War. Meanwhile, hundreds of girls toil amidst the glowing dust of the radium-dial factories. The glittering chemical covers their bodies from head to toe; they light up the night like industrious fireflies. With such a coveted job, these shining girls are the luckiest alive-until they begin to fall mysteriously ill. But the factories that once offered golden opportunities are now ignoring all claims of the gruesome side effects, and the women's cries of corruption. And as the fatal poison of the radium takes hold, the brave shining girls find themselves embroiled in one of the biggest scandals of America's early 20th century, and in a groundbreaking battle for workers' rights that will echo for centuries to come.

I could not put this book down. It was written perfectly ... I cried at the end reading the authors note as to why she wrote it. It was truly commendable... she served these women a true justice, while intimately describing all the injustice they experienced. I felt as if the author was there, and had witnessed it all first hand. She definitely did her homework.. and skillfully reiterated it all to us. I have true respect for her and all of the beautiful souls that perished from radium poisoning... as well as the doctors and lawyers that gave these women a voice and fighting chance.
