In the early 20th century, young women were hired to paint glowing watch dials using radium-based paint. They were told it was harmless, some were even told it was healthy.
To work faster, they were instructed to lick their paintbrushes, swallowing small amounts of radium every day.
Over time, their teeth loosened, jaws decayed, bones fractured, and tumors formed. As the women grew sick, companies denied responsibility and attempted to shift the blame.
By the time the truth was acknowledged, dozens were already dead.
The Radium Girls became a turning point in labor history, exposing corporate negligence and helping establish modern workplace safety laws.
This is one of the darkest chapters in industrial history, and it really happened.
