Asher at 50 embracing her power • Asher Keddie has always presented as a woman in control. But there have been times she’s not felt it inside. Now entering her next decade, she shares her path from insecurity to feeling empowered.

The unseen Royals • Candid, behind the scenes and neverbefore-seen images of the royal family have been released for a new exhibition.

Growing happiness • Through drought, flood and heartbreak, Jenny Jenner’s sunflowers bloom with hope, sunshine and joy.

Women In Space • From NASA’s Mars mission to the European Astronaut Centre, Australian women are reaching for the stars and changing life on Earth along the way.

Jenny Liddle-Bob. Lucy McDonald. Sasha Green. Why don’t you know their names? • Indigenous women are being murdered at frightening rates, their deaths often left uninvestigated and widely unreported. Here The Weekly meets families who are battling grief and desperate for solutions.

Tracy Grimshaw The Beauty Of Taking A Gap Year • In her first interview back in the spotlight since leaving A Current Affair, Tracy Grimshaw opens up about the sheer delight of taking a year off to finally put herself first.

The wines and lines mums • Once only associated with glamorous A-listers, cocaine is now prevalent with the soccer-mum set – as likely to be imbibed at a school fundraiser as a nightclub. The Weekly looks inside this illegal, addictive, rising trend.

Swinging into Action • The new ABC TV series Ladies in Black (the second adaptation of Madeleine St John’s novel) is set in 1961 – a time of incredible social change in Australia. We step back in time with two of the show’s stars.

From devastating diagnosis to forever friendship • School teacher Lisa Kidd and Pink Hope CEO Sarah Powell share the rare BRCA gene mutation that predisposes them to breast and ovarian cancer. Together the best friends have been through diagnosis, treatment, surgeries and motherhood. Now they’ve co-authored a study that could help save lives all over the world.

The true cost of caring • Debby Fraumano has cared for her son, Michael, for 26 years. It’s a labour of love, but it has been costly, too.

With 2.65 million carers – seven out of 10 of those women – unable to work full-time, it’s time to rectify the superannuation imbalance.

Knives drawn • How do you tell your husband his favourite dish is a fail without making a total meal of it?
