THE RADIUM GIRLS: THEY GLOWED IN THE DARK WHILE THEIR BONES DISSOLVED
Episode 145 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the Radium Girls — young women hired in the 1920s to paint luminous watch dials with radium paint, instructed to point their brushes with their lips, systematically deceived about the danger while their jaws fell apart and their bodies glowed in the dark, who sued while they were dying and changed American labor law forever.
They glowed in the dark. The company knew. They sued anyway and they won.
