In true Women’s Weekly style — with inspiring Australian women and an incredible birthday cake — the magazine celebrated its 80th birthday.
The 80th birthday lunch in Sydney’s Apollo restaurant was hosted by editor-in-chief Helen McCabe alongside 7.30 anchor and Weekly favourite Leigh Sales.
The Governor-General — who outed herself as an AWW cookbook tragic collecting every Christmas recipe collection the magazine has produced — presented scholarship awards to our Women of the Future winners.
