About Eunice Randall
Lived 1898 – 1982 (aged 83–84).
Eunice Randall (1898–1982) was a pioneering figure in early radio broadcasting and one of the first female radio engineers in the United States. Born in Swansea, Massachusetts, she joined AMRAD (American Radio and Research Corporation) in the 1910s, where she became a key part of station 1XE (later WGI) in Medford Hillside, Massachusetts. Randall worked as an announcer, scriptwriter, and engineer, earning the nickname "The Radio Girl."
In addition to her technical work, Randall entertained listeners with children's bedtime stories and educational programs, helping to broaden radio's appeal to families. She also played a vital role in repairing and maintaining radio equipment—a field dominated by men at the time. After leaving the broadcasting industry, she became a draftsman for the Boston Edison Company. Randall was also active in the Girl Scouts and supported amateur radio clubs throughout her life.
