My wife actually wrote a (published) poem about the "Radium Girls" who worked in those factories: http://hawaiireview.org/poetry/2016/7/15/meg-eden-radium-gir...

Don't know if anyone here will find it interesting, but it felt topical. She actually did a good amount of research into the conditions surrounding their working environment and what would happen to them as they worked in those factories to get the gruesome details correct.

Neat!

My teenage daughter put together a one-person show for the National History Day Competition a few years ago on the Radium Girls. (Shameless dad bragging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTmBhQCI0as)
