Fatima Musa Ibrahim al-Budairi (1923–2009), a Palestinian journalist, born in Jerusalem, was the first Arab woman to broadcast her voice on Hona al-Quds in 1946. She is one of the first female journalists in the Arab world. She worked in the field of education in 1946, then moved to the media work where she presented cultural programs, as well as news bulletins.
Her lineage goes back to an ancient Jerusalem family, and she is the daughter of Sheikh Musa Al-Budairi, who studied at Dar Al-Moalemat College in Jerusalem and married the late journalist and writer Issam Hammad.
She is considered one of the first female journalists in the Arab world, after she was accepted in the first Palestine radio "Hona Al-Quds", which was opened in March 1936, to be the second Arab radio, and it becomes a destination for all Arab artists, a beacon for spreading culture and a laboratory for making media competencies that later contributed to the radio and television media industry in many Arab countries such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq.
She is "the first Arab presenter to transmit her voice, and the first woman to sit behind the microphone to present to her listeners the news bulletin, as the number of women on the radio was few at the time, and therefore she found herself alone in the face of a storm that did not subside, except when the Nakba occurred, in which half of the country was lost."
She continued to work in the Palestinian radio until the Nakba in 1948, then moved with her husband to work in the Syrian radio between 1950 and 1952, and then worked in the Jordanian radio between 1952 and 1957.
In the early fifties, she returned again to Ramallah, where she worked in the education sector in addition to reading the news once a day on Al-Quds Radio in Ramallah at the request of the director of the radio station, and remained until 1957, when she had to return again to the Levant with her husband without working as a refugee for a year. She is fluent in English and German and has attended a number of conferences in Europe. She traveled with her husband to Berlin to work for the German Democratic Radio in 1958, and continued there until 1965, when she returned to Ramallah and rejoined the field of education, where she worked as an Arabic language teacher and then as a librarian at the UNRWA Teachers' Home in the city.
She moved to Jordan, where she worked in the taxonomy department at the University of Jordan Library in Amman between 1978 and 1983.
She worked at the Jordanian House for Culture and Media in Amman, died in 2009, and was buried in Jordan.
