The 5 Radium Girls
A group of five Radium Dial Company factory workers – Grace Fryer, Edna Hussman, Katherine Schaub, and sisters Quinta McDonald and Albina Larice – were dubbed the radium girls after lawsuit. These five women lived in Newark, New Jersey working for the Radium Dial Company; all but one of the five radium girls were minors when contracting radium poisoning. Grace Fryer, who had initiated the lawsuit against the Radium Dial Company in January 1928, after searching for a lawyer for 2 years, was the only one of the 5 girls to still be able to work a job. Despite having a steel frame to hold her up, 25 operations on her jaw in one year, and the an arm useless due to the bone being partially gone – Grace Fryer went into work everyday at the Fidelity Union Trust Co., Newark. She died on October 27, 1933 after 5 years of fighting against her radium poisoning.
