Radium - digital painting

After the Radium Girls — shining through history with all that they achieved in their too-short lives. Sometimes, the moment a woman realized she had radium poisoning was when she caught sight of herself in a mirror in the middle of the night — for a ghost girl was reflected there, shining with an unnatural luminosity that sealed her fate. And they shine in other ways, too. For radium has a half-life of 1,600 years . . . and it is still embedded in their bones. The ghost girls will be glowing in their graves for a good while yet . . .
