The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women is a work of narrative nonfiction by Kate Moore that reconstructs the history of young women who painted watch and clock dials with radium-based paint in the early twentieth century. The book centers on the human cost of an industrial practice that was first marketed as modern, glamorous, and safe, then revealed to be devastatingly toxic. Rather than treating the story only as a legal or scientific case, Moore emphasizes the women themselves, drawing on historical records, interviews, letters, and diaries to restore individuality to people who had often been reduced to a collective label. The result is both a history of workplace poisoning and a study of corporate denial, scientific misunderstanding, and labor activism. It is also a wider account of how the radium scandals helped shape later ideas about industrial safety and accountability.
