Then it was the source of timepieces that could be read in the dark. And then it turned deadly. Caught in the history of this radioactive element, young women painted watch faces for manufacturers. As one after another suffers detrimental effects, it becomes obvious that working with radium is dangerous. However, the companies were profiting nicely from its use and continued to deny and even combat reports of the element's dangers. The young women who worked for them were victims who became advocates. Finally finding a lawyer to work with them, they fought for just treatment for themselves and their colleagues. The author captures the drama of this "David vs. Goliath" battle and illustrates how truth can overcome deceit, even when the deception is corporate effort. 2024-12-25 00:00:02    8.10000 5.40000 1.20000 1.00000 001052681 Sourcebooks Explore Q Quality Paper  2020-09-08 432 p. ;  Children's - 3rd-7th Grade, Age 8-12 BK3-7         150 2 27 0 0 ING 9781728209470_medium.jpg 0 resize_120_9781728209470.jpg 0 Moore, Kate   6.2 In print and available 0 0 0 0 0 1916 1 0 1918 1 2023-02-08 09:52:36 0 2098 0
