Grace happened to be a dial painter with U.S. Radium Corporation, a group of skilled women who painted glow in the dark clock and watch faces leading up to WWI. The dials were particularly important during this time, as they did not require the use of power to be read, providing soldiers the ability to tell time. Grace’s dream was to become a bank teller. She achieved her dream job and left U.S. Radium after working to paint dials after two years. However, the toxicity of radium poison had already impacted her and she became ill. Fated to pass from radium poisoning, Grace became an advocate for the women poisoned by radium during their dial painting for U.S. Radium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrace lead the effort to sue the company.
