Content warning: Occupational poisoning, severe illness, disfigurement and death.
The women are sick, the evidence is mounting, and somehow radioactive face cream is still getting a sales pitch.
In the final installment of our radium series, Melissa and Noelle follow the Radium Girls' fight for compensation in New Jersey and Illinois, millionaire Eben Byers's disastrous enthusiasm for Radithor, and Tho-Radia's promise of a scientifically improved complexion.
From courtroom delays to beauty-counter bullshit, we explore what happened after the warnings became public and the lasting legacy of the women who painted those luminous dials.
Listen to Parts 1 and 2, follow Dressed for the Grave, and leave us a review.
And remember: Dress to impress yourself, not the coroner.
