My strongest impression is that this book is very long and quite graphic. (I'm kind of morbidly curious how many times "seeping pus" is mentioned, but not enough to actually check.) Although I appreciate the author's intent to illuminate the story of these overlooked women — pun fully intended; with the title being what it is, how could I resist? — I found it repetitive and drawn-out, with no end in sight.

I do acknowledge that that's probably how the Radium Girls felt about the justice process, so in that regard it's fitting. But there really didn't seem to be much of a narrative arc, the included details generally bored rather than intrigued me, and overall I just didn't really enjoy listening to this audiobook.
