"These Shining Lives" by Melanie Marnich
It's the roaring 20s and gender norms have started to shift. Four young women celebrate their new-found freedoms as employees of the Radium Dial Company, decorating watches and clock faces with a new invention, glow-in-the-dark paint. As decades pass and a toxic truth begins to emerge, the women struggle to hold the company accountable for stealing their health by valuing profit over safety. Based on the true story of the Radium Girls, "These Shining Lives" illuminates the spirits of these ordinary women whose courageous battle for social justice continues to resonate in the laws that protect today's workers.
