Description
In 1972, 30-year-old journalist and editor, Ita Buttrose and 35-year-old Kerry Packer, scion of what was then Australia’s most ruthlessly powerful and influential publishing families, got together to create a magazine that became one of the most dramatic sensations in Australian publishing history. ‘Cleo’ Magazine – begun in a ‘fit of pique’ – went on to help define women, Australia and the relationship between the two. Filled with intelligence and wit ‘Cleo’ took off on its first issue, taking Kerry, Ita, and a hand-picked bunch of staffers along for the ride.
