Gadis-gadis radium

Gadis-gadis Radium adalah para tenaga kerja pabrik perempuan yang terkena keracunan radiasi akibat memoles arloji. Pemolesan dilakukan oleh wanita di tiga pabrik United States Radium berbeda, dan istilah tersebut sekarang ditujukan kepada wanita yang bekerja di fasilitas-fasilitas tersebut: satu di Orange, New Jersey, bermula pada sekitar tahun 1917; satu pada Ottawa, Illinois, bermula pada awal 1920an; dan sebuah fasilitas ketiga di Waterbury, Connecticut.
