Finished Radium Girls last night. It was good. Extremely hard to read. It was a book that I had to read in smaller sittings, because the subject matter is so dire. Reading detailed medical facts about what each person's story was very difficult, until I read the back of the book and realized that was the purpose of the writer. She felt that each of these ladies had made huge contributions so that others would be protected. Found extremely interesting that we can thank these shining women for OSHA being here now. I do think that perhaps more of an explanation of the purpose of the story would have helped. It was absolutely a story that needed to be known.

I'm glad I read it and these ladies and their stories will continue to haunt me. What they went through was beyond horrific. The lies, even when they were given medical tests, more lies. Just so awful.
