The true, untold story of America's shining girls, the unsuspecting WWI workers slowly poisoned in the glowing radium-dial factories in Orange, NJ and Ottawa, IL, and their heroic fight for justice against impossible odds. Their courage resulted in a dramatic legacy that changed the world and still reverberates almost a century later.

In 2005, she directed a critically acclaimed play about the Radium Girls called 'These Shining Lives.' She lives in the UK. Visit her at http://www.kate-moore.com/.
