Me puse a leer esta novelita sobre las #radiumgirls y aunque es muy fácil seguirle las ideas, he tenido que ir parando cada cierto rato por la bronca que me da la indolencia miserable de los empresarios que pusieron la ganancia sobre la vida de sus trabajadoras :blobcat_thisisfine:

I’m about 5% of my way into #RadiumGirls and I have blurted out “Oh my god” so many times that my wife has stopped asking what’s wrong. Absolutely terrifying what these women were subjected to. #NowReading #Bookstodon

If you need a fun little rabbit hole to fall down, check out the #RadiumGirls.

Was reading again about the #RadiumGirls in Deboraj Blum's excellent The Poisoner's Handbook. Such a tragic and horrific slice of history.

BTW I did not know that radiation poisoning killed Marie Curie
