SUMMARY:New Jersey Book Club - Radium Girls
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis month's title: "The Radium Girls" by Kate Moore. The 
 Curies' newly discovered element of radium makes gleaming headlines across 
 the nation as the fresh face of beauty\, and wonder drug of the medical 
 community. From body lotion to tonic water\, the popular new element shines 
 bright in the otherwise dark years of the First World War. Meanwhile\, 
 hundreds of girls toil amidst the glowing dust of the radium-dial 
 factories. The glittering chemical covers their bodies from head to toe\; 
 they light up the night like industrious fireflies. With such a coveted 
 job\, these "shining girls" are the luckiest alive—until they begin to 
 fall mysteriously ill. Please register to receive the zoom link\, or join 
 us in person in the History Room. Print books are located on the shelves 
 near the Circulation Desk. \n\nThe topic of New Jersey is broad. While 
 obviously included in the non-fiction genre\, New Jersey is also found 
 within fiction\, poetry\, and visual works. There are classics written by 
 New Jersey authors\, and others who use the state as the setting for their 
 stories. Join us as we explore numerous depictions of the Garden State by 
 native and non-native New Jersey writers across multiple genres\, all while 
 strengthening an appreciation for the impact our state makes in literature 
 and in the telling of its history. Meetings will be hybrid - both in person 
 and via zoom. Co-sponsored by the New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance.\n\n
