ASK E. JEAN

In the last quarter of the 20th century, Elizabeth E. Jean Caroll’s name became synonymous with the New Journalism movement in the American Press, as the first widely recognized female byline in male-dominated outlets such as Esquire or Playboy, as well as the longest-running advice columnist in Elle – in the style of “Dear Mary.” In the first quarter of the 21st century, E. Jean became the first woman who convincingly argued twice before the court to convict a former US president for rape, having already released the bestseller What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal in 2019, in which she fearlessly recounted all the details of the sexual assault with unrelenting passion. From her early years as a cheerleader to her time covering the gonzo patriarch Hunter Thompson, and up to the present day, one of the most dedicated chroniclers of American political life delivers the portrait of a singular personality; a public figure who devoted herself to defining true emancipation and solidarity, armed solely with words and the courage that comes from self-awareness.
