That was great!

Thanks Meryl and Mumsnet!

I am really really looking forward to the film.

What a fantastic webchat, excellent questions and answers.

Meryl. Flippin' epic. Funny, genuine, down to earth, interesting and knowledgable. Could read her threads for days. Major MN guest win.

Bloody good questions and we never even felt we had to ask her about her dress, makeup or shoes!

Oh no! I missed it! MN please can you let her know she has a namesake on here?

I luffs her.

Ha!! - meant the 8th Oct not 8 years old! Though still a keeper ;)
Thanks Meryl - he will be delighted and I couldn't agree more with your advice re 18 year olds! Best wishes

Mine's going to be Merylsgonnacallme

I just wanted to say that I heard your interview on Radio 4 yesterday and very much liked your comments on discrimination against older women and mothers in the workplace. Thank you for using your prominent profile to make that point!

I've had my Meryl Streep inspired name for yeeeears.

Hamma Best one yet. By the way if you need any assisting with that tour...

Great chat, wish it was longer.

Hi Meryl! It is an honor to have the chance to talk to you. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for your work and everything you are doing to fight for women's equality.

I heard you say recently that the website Rotten Tomatoes has only 187 female critics while 760 are male. This statistic was mind boggling to me. There are so many other companies just like it which is really sad and frustrating. I am a young woman about to start college next year. I want to contribute to the battle for women's equality but it is an overwhelming task and I don't even know where to begin. What can young woman in my generation be doing to help achieve equality for women?
I hope to see a significant change in this area during my lifetime and I want to be a part of it in whatever way possible.

I went out!!! I thought she'd never answer my question!!! She came!! She answered my question!!!

What's higher than a Goddess? SuperGoddess? Yes. That will be it from now on. She has leapt off the Goddess List onto the SuperGoddess pedestal.

Made me google Saga Noren I get the username now!

Hi Meryl!
I'm wandering what piece of advice you could give an 18 year old aspiring actress

Lucy she'd probably tell you to show up for stuff on time.

I can't believe it has taken until now to make the film Suffragette. Look forward to seeing it!

What a super webchat.

Not really funny

Oh my! Today I chatted to Meryl Streep

Thank you MN I love web chats I'm going to read it properly tonight when the DCs are in bed.

Sorry Lucy

Please forgive me, I'm on a what's now going to be known as a "MS high" and it's clouding my sensibilities a bit.

Thank you Meryl :)

I Can Not Believe Meryl Streep answered one of my questions [swoons].

She is in the movie for about 3 minutes, actually, but it's a great film, well worth seeing, and MS of course aced Emmeline Pankhurst.
