Manage episode 387290133 series 2827328
The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning beginning in 1917, while they were painting watches with self-luminous paint. This occurred at three factories in the United States: Orange, New Jersey, Ottawa, Illinois, and Waterbury Connecticut. The women were assured that the paint was harmless, but that wasn't true, and they ingested deadly amounts of radium.
