My book club is going to read Radium Girls for our May meeting. on zoom. Am wondering if you ever join book club meetings on zoom. Also I see you have two books called Radium Girls--Im wondering which one would be the best for our book club to read?
Kate Moore
Hi Sherry! Thanks so much for reaching out - and for choosing The Radium Girls for your book club. I do join book clubs when I can and love it! However, I am based in the UK, so depending on your location we may just need to figure out a mutually convenient time. It's probably best to schedule this via email, so please do message me at kate@kate-moore.com if you'd like to continue this chat.
As for which book to read, I think the two books you mean are 1/ the original edition and 2/ the young readers' edition (which has a different subtitle and an illustration not photograph on the jacket). I'd have thought the original edition would suit your group best, as the YR edition is aimed at 8-12 yr olds. The YR edition is about half the length and has a lot more photographs.
I hope you and your group find their story powerful. Thanks for reading.
All best wishes
Kate

I don't have a question? Bbut I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it that you wrote The Radium Girls. I found it a fascinating read in my parent's generation and those girls came alive for me. My fascination with the book was the way you showed each girl as a human being. I continue to pray for them every day since you told me their story. Thank you.

No question, Kate. Just praise. This was such an insightful book. I didn't know what women faced in those times, and who, frankly, still face many of the same challenges. Congress has still yet to pass the ERA! In any case, thank you so much for letting us into the life of Elizabeth Packard. By the way, isn't Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written?
