In this thought-provoking and humorous panel, ABC Radio Sydney Breakfast’s Wendy Harmer is joined by best-selling author Kelly Doust (The Power Age), General Manager of Bauer Media Jane Waterhouse, and internet sensation Sarah Jane Adams (My Life in a Box) to shine a spotlight on the invisible woman and all she has to offer. | | |
