It was a fun job, lucrative and glamorous. The girls themselves shone brightly in the dark, covered head to toe in the dust from the paint. As the years passed, the women began to suffer from mysterious and crippling illnesses. The very thing that had made them feel alive, their work, was in fact slowly killing them: they had been poisoned by the radium paint. Yet their employers denied all responsibility. And so, in the face of unimaginable suffering, in the face of death, these courageous women refused to accept their fate quietly, and instead became determined to fight for justice. 650 0 $a Watch dial painters $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Radium paint $x Toxicology. 650 0 $a Consumers' leagues $x History. 650 0 $a Industrial hygiene $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Women. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x War work. 700 1 $a Brazil, Angela $q (Angela Kay) $4 nrt. 941 $a 14 945 $a cdab 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020022.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020541.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804023030.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060958.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323014320.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190306010810.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20181127014942.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107020850.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114828.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20180627023414.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20180523022347.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20171219015051.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20170927012453.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170719010327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=998E8CF46C4711E794AADEAADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
