GLOWING IN THE DARK: The Radium Girls Who Changed History: Industrial Espionage, Corporate Lies, and the Women Who Fought Back - Softcover
Synopsis
In the factories of New Jersey and Connecticut, young women painted luminous watch dials with radium-laced paint, pointing their brushes between their lips hundreds of times each day. Their employers told them it was safe. It was not.
GLOWING IN THE DARK tells the full, unsparing story of the Radium Girls — the dial painters who discovered their employer had known about radium's deadly effects for years while watching their workers slowly die. What followed was one of the most consequential workplace safety battles in American history: five ordinary women, ravaged by radiation poisoning, taking on a powerful corporation in open court and winning.
This is not just a story about radium. It is a story about corporate deception, scientific suppression, and the moment ordinary working women refused to accept their fate. Their legal victory established the principles that underpin modern occupational safety law, influenced the Manhattan Project's safety protocols, and changed the fundamental relationship between employers and workers — permanently.
Written with precision and humanity, GLOWING IN THE DARK restores these women to their rightful place in history. Their names deserve to be remembered. Their fight deserves to be understood.
