Radium Girls" tells the story of young women working in factories in the 1920s who were poisoned by the radium they used to paint watch dials. Initially unaware of the dangers, the women, encouraged to "lip-point" their paintbrushes, begin experiencing severe health issues. As they fight for recognition and justice against their former employer, they face not only corporate resistance but also skepticism from their families and communities. The story culminates in legal battles and ultimately, landmark changes in workplace safety regulations.
