Before the Radium Girls became one of history's most infamous workplace tragedies, radium was everywhere. Beauty creams, health tonics, glowing watches, miracle cures, and products promising vitality with a radioactive little sparkle.

In Part 1, we dive into the radium craze, the women who painted luminous watch dials, the fashion and nightlife surrounding the job, and how something marketed as modern, glamorous, and healthy turned deadly.

Welcome to Dressed to Glow: Beauty, Poison & the Radium Girls, Part 1.
