Such a sad and tragic story! Young ladies just needing work. They were not successful in going up against American Radium! Big Business in the United States of America versus us, the people. I find this story incredibly sad. These poor young ladies.
Hannah Gardner I had done a little research about Grace Fryer. She was getting a rotten tooth pulled when her entire jaw was pulled off instead. They found that the radium had dug tiny holes in her jaw and yes doctors could break it easily by scraping it. After the jaw broke she died a month later, all while her jaw hung in her mouth
The way they were paid (per dial) must have added to the problem, as the more dials they completed, the more they were paid, so the more paint they consumed.
I cried at this movie when they finally won the recognition. They fought most of them to absolute death but they fought.

It's interesting that they showed it now, some statements seemed to refer to now.
Not really sad when they were mostly atheist w h 0 res. Only the christian ones survived
