About this book

Women employed to paint luminous watch dials were assured that radium was safe, even as the work began to damage their health. Kate Moore's history follows these workers as they confront illness and employers who deny responsibility. Their efforts to obtain recognition and accountability connect individual experiences with a wider struggle over workplace protection and workers' rights.

About the author

Moore was directing a play about the radium dial painters when she realised their full story had never been told properly. The Radium Girls follows the young American women who painted luminous watch faces through the 1910s and 1920s, were instructed to point their brushes with their lips, and later went to law as their jaws disintegrated.
