E. Jean Carroll's narrative traces her journey from a modest upbringing to a successful career in journalism during the late 20th century in New York City. By 1996, she was established as an advice columnist and a host in the media landscape. However, her life took a horrific turn when she was assaulted by Donald Trump in a dressing room. This encounter marked a pivotal moment that brought to light issues of sexual assault and harassment, serving as a reflection of darker experiences faced by women, ultimately raising crucial questions in society.
That's the New York City Carroll believed in when she walked into that dressing room. Instead of a funny story, she got shoved up against the dressing room wall and sexually assaulted by Donald Trump, becoming a sort of canary in the coal mine for the rest of America.
Her origin story is inspiring: At 38, in a shed in Montana, she'd scrutinized a photo of Fran Lebowitz talking on an old dial phone in Vogue magazine.
