Page "Ita Buttrose" Paragraph 0

Ita Clare Buttrose, AO, OBE ( born 17 January 1942 ) is an Australian journalist and businesswoman.

She was the founding editor of Cleo, a high-circulation magazine aimed at women aged 20 to 40 that was frank about sexuality ( and, in its infancy, featured nude male centrefolds ), and later as the editor of the more sedate Australian Women's Weekly.

She is the youngest person to ever be appointed editor of the Weekly, which was then per capita, the largest-selling magazine in the world.
