Asma Toubi (1905-1983), a broadcaster, writer, and poet, was born in Nazareth and received her early education there and later in Jerusalem. She then pursued academic studies at the American University of Beirut in 1932. She became the first female broadcaster on Radio Jerusalem in 1936, hosting a weekly program called “A Conversation with Arab Women,” where she addressed women on raising their children, their behavior, and offered guidance in education and work. Several other female broadcasters worked alongside her at the radio station, including Henriette Siksik, Fatima Alami, Rabiha Dajani, and Mary Akawi. She married and moved to Acre, remaining there until the Nakba, after which she was displaced to Beirut.
She authored numerous books and publications. She passed away in 1983 and was buried in Beirut.
