This article examines the major role of female radio presenters in Catalonia as pioneers in creating new programme formats: magazines. The study highlights the major influence of the way radio was presented by these women, who lived exclusively from their radio work and, in many cases, for example during the Civil War, were the only presenters that were heard. The history of radio in Catalonia has always been explicitly related to the names of certain individuals who were considered pioneers of the invention. The first radio entrepreneurs were men, as were the engineers that constructed the radio transmitters and receivers. But communication, the important element that linked radio to its audience, had many female voices, many of which had been long forgotten in Catalonia until they were reclaimed by this research, and these represented veritable bastions of their radio stations, especially in the Civil War period, when male announcers were fighting or in exile

Aquest article posa de manifest el paper preponderant que tingueren les locutores en les emissores de ràdio que operaven Catalunya sota l’epígraf EAJ durant els anys vint i trenta del segle XX.Les locutores foren les primeres professionals del mitjà que crearen programes (els femenins) amb un format que més endavant es coneixeria com a magazín, en un moment històric (anys vint) en el qual la ràdio estava plena de conferències i xerrades. La segona gran aportació de les dones a la història de la ràdio l’hem d’ubicar durant la Guerra Civil. Elles, en moltes estacions catalanes, foren les úniques veus que sortien en antena, a causa de l’exili i la incorporació a files de molts dels seus companys. La tercera clau que cal atribuir a les locutores per entendre bé el seu pes en la història de la ràdio de Catalunya és que per a elles aquesta feina era el seu únic modus vivendi, mentre que per a molts dels locutors la ràdio era un afegit a les seves feines principals d’advocats o professors
