Abstract (English):	This article is about the beginnings of feminist radio broadcasting in Mexico. It focuses on the program "Women's Forum" which was transmitted from the station of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in the capital of the country from 1972 until 1986. Using several recordings, this article reconstructs the program's main characteristics and the context that made it possible. It also tries to understand its importance for the Mexican feminist movement of the time. This radio program was pioneering and transgressing, and in its beginnings, it was the only spoken proposal among a universe of written culture that allowed women to adopt a position as social actors in modern media and made an important difference for the acceptance and placing of female tones and frequencies into the public space.

Abstract (Spanish):	Este artículo aborda los inicios de la radio feminista en México. Se centra en el programa "Foro de la mujer" que se transmitió en la capital del país de 1972 a 1986 por las ondas sonoras de la radio de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Utilizando registros sonoros grabados reconstruye sus principales características y el contexto que le dio cabida e intenta comprender su importancia dentro del movimiento feminista mexicano de la época. Revela que fue un programa pionero, transgresor y, en sus inicios, la única propuesta oral en un universo de cultura escrita, que permitió a las mujeres posicionarse como actoras sociales críticas en los medios de comunicación modernos e hizo una diferencia importante en la aceptación y colocación de los tonos y frecuencias femeninas en el espacio público.
