pickKate Moore- you make me grit my teeth while reading. Thank you for telling truths, for riling people up with your storytelling, for compelling readers to speak up and out about wrong doings in history so that going forward we can do better.
pickThis is a heartbreaking account of women seen as disposable by industry fighting for their lives & justice while corporations made millions. A nonfiction following the short lives of women doing glamorous work painting clock & watch faces & military instrument dials with glowing radium paint. The women‘s history spans before WWI to WWII, telling stories of their friendships, families & fight for future industrial hygiene & workers‘ compensation.
Happy beach day in Pensacola! Although glowing, not so bright for the girls of Orange, NJ and Ottawa, IL in the 1920s.
pickThis was a very difficult subject matter. I pretty much read this straight through.
To be honest I probably sped through this to avoid having my mind sit on the horrible, tragic lives these women led.
bailedThis was a #TrappedonanIsland pick for January. I made it about 55% through and can't read anymore. Maybe someday in the future I'll try to finish it.
