En la decada de los 20, tras el reciente descubrimiento del Radio por los Curie, este elemento empieza a utilizarse para todo tipo de productos. Las fábricas de gestión del radio contratan a mujeres jovenes para manipularlo y con el tiempo empiezan caer enfermas y a morir mientras los empresarios niegan los efectos secundarios y cualquier responsabilidad. Escrita con una voz chispeante y un ritmo vertiginoso, Las chicas del Radio ilumina por completo a las jovenes inspiradoras expuestas a la "maravillosa" sustancia del radio y su imponente fuerza frente a circunstancias casi imposibles. Su coraje y tenacidad condujeron a cambios de por vida en las regulaciones laborales, a la investigacion sobre bombardeos nucleares y sobre todo, a salvar cientos de miles de vidas.

Nacida en una adorable familia en 2011, originalmente se pensó que era un macho y se le dio el nombre de Felix antes de que una visita al veterinario confirmara lo contrario. Su vida como trabajadora independiente comenzo con tan solo ocho semanas de edad y fue ascendida al puesto de directora controladora de plagas en 2016. Entre sus aficiones destacan la caza de palomas, echar una cabezada en horas de trabajo y las cosquillas en la tripa.Cuando Felix llego a la estacion de Huddersfield con tan solo ocho semanas, nadie podia imaginar lo importante que esa pequeña bola de pelo llegaria a ser.Si bien lleva a cabo un trabajo esencial como Directora Controladora de Plagas, Felix es mucho mas que una simple empleada de la TransPennine Express, ya que ha cambiado de forma sorprendente las vidas de sus colegas y de los usuarios de la estacion.Felix parece tener una increible habilidad para realizar intervenciones decisivas en su dia a dia: desde sacar a un niño con autismo de su caparazon, hasta proporcionar consuelo a un chico fugado de casa que, una noche, temblaba de frio en el anden. Asi que cuando la tragedia golpeo al equipo de Huddersfield, todos se apoyaron en Felix para recuperar el animo.No obstante, fue su casual amistad con un usuario al que cada mañana espera en el anden, lo que finalmente proporciono a Felix el reconocimiento que merecia, catapultandola hasta su estrellato internacional.
