reviewed The Woman Who Knew Too Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation on April 27, 2010 The Woman Who Knew Too Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation
Basically a biography of a woman who was supported by her family and a select group of friends and colleagues and abused, ignored and tolerated by counterparts who had dominion over her. A doctor who found her life's work mid-career and loved her environment while withstanding resentment and the intellectual ignorance that comes when superiors disagree with your findings. In the end, she remained true to her finding and everybody who ever disagreed with her were forced to admit that she was correct in her findings and her work.
Even she maintained that her findings would not nor could not be verified for 3 to 4 generations into the future. Based on the amount of chronic illness, that seems to be universal today, it would seem that her time predictions might have been a little long.
Empatheticly written from the woman's point of view but as a man I found that Dr. Stewart's experience was common to someone that was not part of the "Good Ole Boy's Club".
A good read that not only informs about radiation and it's consequences but portrays a good person with enormous hurtles that she surmounted. In the end, she won her game of Scrabble.
