The Death of Karen Silkwood is a true story adapted for English learners by Joyce Hannam. It tells the story of Karen Silkwood, a young American woman who worked at a nuclear power plant in Oklahoma. While working there, she became aware of serious safety violations and radiation leaks that could harm workers and the public.
Karen joined the workers’
union and started collecting evidence to expose the company’s
dangerous practices. She planned to give this evidence to a journalist
and the union official, but tragically, she died in a suspicious car
accident on her way to the meeting.
When her body was found,
the documents she had collected were missing. Many people believe her death was
not an accident, and that she was silenced because of what she
knew.
The book explores themes
of courage, justice, truth, and the risks faced by whistleblowers who
stand up against powerful organizations.
