Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Despite the negative labeling of Third World women as ignorant, poor, uneducated, and powerless, it is a clear indication that there are many obstacles that hinder women empowerment in Third world countries. Even with the multitude of media technologies and communication means, women in the developing countries especially those residing in rural and remote areas are still voiceless compared to women in developed countries.. This study focuses on the Feminist International Radio Endeavour (FIRE), which began a grassroots� women community radio in 1991. Using the rhetorical criticism, the study examines the rhetorical strategies and communication tools used by FIRE, if any, in addressing social justice issues facing women in many developing countries and the world. In addition, the study examines how the FIRE can be modeled to set up women community radio in Africa. Using the three models of women�s media access as the rhetorical artifact, I will analyze FIRE using two theories: standpoint theory and womanist theory.
