Description: La increíble historia real de las mujeres que lucharon en Estados Unidos contra un peligro oculto: el radio, un elemento químico recién descubierto por los Curie, que acaparaba grandes titulares en todo el país como el nuevo milagro de belleza y la droga mágica de la comunidad médica. Como loción corporal o tónico facial, el nuevo y popular elemento brilló en esos años, por otro lado oscuros, de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Mientras tanto, cientos de chicas trabajaban en medio del polvo brillante en las fábricas de radio. La brillante sustancia química cubría sus cuerpos de la cabeza a los pies y ellas iluminaban la noche como luciérnagas industriales. Con su codiciado trabajo, estas «muchachas luminosas» eran las más afortunadas, hasta que comenzaron a caer enfermas de manera misteriosa. Pero las fábricas ignoraron estos terribles efectos secundarios. A medida que el fatal veneno se afianzaba, aquellas valientes chicas se vieron envueltas en uno de los mayores escándalos de principios del siglo xx en Estados Unidos. Su coraje y tenacidad condujeron a importantes cambios en las regulaciones laborales, a la investigación sobre bombardeos nucleares y, sobre todo, a salvar cientos de miles de vidas.
