historical. story of women who worked painting watches with luminous paint made with radium in 1920s and 1930s. They all ended up with cancer and other fatal diseases and most died young. The book is about them and their lives but also about their legal battles against the companies. Their fight helped lead to the creation of OSHA and changes in workers comp laws. Their deaths were tragic but their will to fight to improve things for others was admirable.
