The Radium Girls - 1917

from Did History (Actually) Teach Us Anything? · host RRC International

Who were the Radium Girls? In this episode, we discover the story of a group of women in 1917 who, by believing they were valiantly contributing to the war effort, suffered a terrible fate and ended up significantly changing workplace safety laws forever. Scientific awareness, safer workplace practices and workplace regulations were all born out of the unsafe use of radium in World War I factories, and the tragic consequences it had for these young women.
