The tragic true story of a real life radium girl.
Luminous: The Story
of a Radium Girl
by Samantha Wilcoxson
Genre: Biographical Historical Fiction
Tragic true story of
a radium girl.
Catherine's life is set on an unexpected course when she accepts a job at
Radium Dial. The dial painters forge friendships and enjoy their work but soon
discover that an evil secret lurks in the magical glow-in-the-dark paint. When
she and her friends start falling ill, Catherine Donohoe takes on the might of
a big corporation and becomes an early pioneer of social justice in the era
between world wars.
Emotive and inspiring - this book will touch you like no other as you witness
the devastating impact of radium poisoning on young women's lives.
It's too late for me, but maybe it will help some of the others.
~ Catherine Wolfe Donohue
