By Moore, Kate[2018]., Sourcebooks Call No: HI-INT 363.1 MOO Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: As World War I raged across the globe, hundreds of young women toiled away at the radium-dial factories, where they painted clock faces with a mysterious new substance called radium. Assured by their bosses that the luminous material was safe, the women themselves shone brightly in the dark, covered from head to toe with the glowing dust. With such a coveted job, these "shining girls" were considered the luckiest alive--until they began to fall mysteriously ill. As the fatal poison of the radium took hold, they found themselves embroiled in one of America's biggest scandals and a groundbreaking battle for workers' rights. The Radium Girls explores the strength of extraordinary women in the face of almost impossible circumstances and the astonishing legacy they left behind.

How do they get there? Why are they arranged the way they are? Did you know that some stores use heat maps to track which aisles you walk down -- and which ones you don't? Or that they put the milk at the end of the aisle so you're forced to pass a hundred other items on your way to get it? It's all done to gain an edge in a cutthroat business built on razor-thin margins. CNBC's Tyler Mathisen goes behind the scenes for a fascinating look at today's supermarket industry. Go behind the familiar facade of your neighborhood market to see how it really works."--Producer's website.
