“In 1926, radium was a
miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the
latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a
mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the
efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her
chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who
cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could
have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees.
As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the
U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her
campaign for justice will backfire."
