Podcasts about america's shining women

In the years following World War One, thousands of young women were hired to paint radium on watch and clock dials so they would glow in the dark. As a result, many of the women would suffer the excruciating effects of radiation poisoning, which often lead to their deaths at an early age.  My guest, Kate Moore, is author of the New York Times bestselling book "Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women". She joins me to talk about this terrible tragedy (which would be covered up by the guilty corporations for decades) and the bravery of the afflicted women, who fought an uphill battle for justice.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the 1920's the U.S. Radium Corp hired young women to work on radium wristwatches which glowed. The women ended up glowing themselves and, unbeknownst to them the radium was eating their bones from the inside. Host Dan Loney talks with author Kate Moore about her new book, "The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women" about the tragic death of these workers and the resulting lawsuit that changed American workplace regulations on Knowledge@Wharton.
