This book by Kate Moore is the story of young women who were paid to paint luminescent faces on watches in the early 1900s,

Many became deathly ill from the radium-laced paint they used in their work. Radium Girls documents how the resulting lawsuits ended in groundbreaking changes to worker’s rights.
