While male leaders confused us with their TV debates, Marie Claire hosted the first ever all-female Question Time debate. Here it is in full.
Still note sure who to vote for in the general election?
To help us decide, we invited an all-female Question Time-style panel to answer your most pressing questions via Twitter. 5 high-profile female MPs from the main political parties came along to Marie Claire HQ to take part in our virtual election debate to talk women, politics and why it's more important than ever to cast your vote this year. You followed the hashtag #MCElection and joined us live on Twitter, clocking up almost 232k interactions.
