I am what author Gillian Flynn wrote because TIME Magazine has stuck with me – it gnaws at me. just an old cowboy who loves guitars shirt She’s not just talking about sexual abuse, but the whole damn system. Patriarchy and power (the same) and their treatment, attitudes towards women – as she writes;
I feel humiliated and angry. They hate us. That’s my immediate thought, with each new revelation: They hate us. And then, a more morbid doubt: They don’t care enough about us to hate us. We are simply a form of livestock.
It has never been more real than in this book – the book shows how evil women can turn out to be evil in the eyes of the corporations that kill them.
One might think the ‘Radium Girls’ story is outdated – look how far we’ve come in understanding workers’ rights and holding big business accountable! But this story is still happening today – somewhere, sometime.

Look at the Grenfell Tower fire in June of this year – started by dangerous cladding installed to make public housing in North Kensington more attractive to surrounding wealthy residents.

‘Radium Girls’ is an important book for me to read – a story I am so grateful to know until now. But it’s not a story that ends in 1938 (and not just because to this day the women’s bodies are radioactive from their graves). Rather – it’s proof of the ongoing wars to hold big businesses accountable (not give them bigger tax breaks) and never put profits before people. The legacy of these women is one of speaking truth to power. Which they did – with their dying breath.
