摘要

43 Lip . . . Dip . . . Paint. It's a constant refrain throughout Kate Moore's bittersweet telling of the Radium Girls-the women dial-painters whose exposure to radium caused them to have a heavenly glow that later led to horrific deaths. There are many different ways to tell the story of the fight to get radiation sickness recognized, workplace safety regulations in place, and compensation from the companiesresponsible. Moore's take is apparent as soon as you open the cover and look at the faces of the dial-painters. The first section in the book is the List of Key Characters, and the book is dedicated to the dial-painters and those who loved them. This story, above all else, is a human story.44 Part 1 of Moore's narrative begins in 1917, just as the demand for luminous watches exploded. It was a point of pride to work in a factory painting watch faces. Many of the women who first got jobs reached out to relatives and friends to join them. As she introduces Katherine Schaub, Grace Fryer, Inez Vallat, Catherine Donohue, and so many others, Moore conveys the excitement that the women felt working in a place that could make its employees glow. By weaving biographies around each of the names, the feeling of community comes across the page. These are daughters, sisters, and mothers. They and their families have no idea what is causing their bodies to actually break. However, the reader knows because Moore has carefully interwoven the narratives of the company owners and doctors and lawyers with those of the women. Moore lays out the timeline of who knew what and when they knew it.
