Title: Radio Girls
Author: Sarah-Jane Stratford
Genre: Historical Fiction
Radio Girls is set in pre-WWII England, as the BBC is just beginning to reach airwaves. The novel explores many topics, women's rights being the main one. Maisie takes a secretarial job at the BBC to earn some much needed income, and ends up falling into the career path of her dreams. Maisie is taken under the wing of Hilda Matheson and learns many different things, least of all how to put on broadcasts for the BBC Talks programming. An excellent read that inspires comparing the past to today's world, through the lens of journalism.
