​Lemond, Janet Marie Mandrona
This book recounts the story of Dr. Alice Hamilton, one of William Gillette’s most notable neighbors. Try to imagine a time in the early 1900s when safety wasn’t part of the workplace culture, when workers’ compensation laws were unheard of, and when OSHA didn’t exist. Workers were often seriously injured on the job or even poisoned by the chemicals they used. This was Alice Hamilton’s world and the one she hoped to correct.
