Jane Evans is a revolutionary woman, she was one of the first girls to do woodwork at school. One of the first women in the creative department. She created the first ads to ever show divorced couples, couples living together, and real men doing housework. She gave Cate Blanchett her first job. She was one of the world’s first female creative directors and created one of the world’s first integrated agencies. She created the first campaign to ever show big girls as supermodels and masterminded Australia’s first craft beer brands. She now runs the Uninvisibility Project which is making older women more visible and more valuable to society.
