The True Horror Story America Tried to Erase - The Radium Girls

The Radium Girls might be one of the most disturbing true stories in American history — and it sounds like pure body horror. In the early 1900s, hundreds of young women were hired to paint watch dials with glowing radium paint. Their supervisors told them to lick the brushes between strokes to keep the tips sharp. They were assured the paint was harmless. Some were even told it was healthy.

But radium wasn’t harmless.
