What is it really like when a partner passes away? And does the status of the relationship make a difference? Emma Barnett speaks to three women who share their own experiences
A group of women were employed to paint dials with radium in 1920's America. They licked the brushes they used to sharpen the point, the radium dust was everywhere in the workshop and when they went home at night they were glowing. Many developed health problems, and some died. A handful of the women campaigned to get their employers to admit liability, but it took until 1938 to get justice. Kate Moore tells their story in her new book.
