Across a five-decade career, E. Jean Carroll has emerged as a trailblazing journalist, talk show host and beloved advice columnist, conquering the male-dominated publishing world of 1980s and 90s New York with a fearless voice all her own.

In recent years, she has fought a high profile legal battle against Donald Trump for sexual assault and defamation, becoming the only woman to beat him in court. Twice. Ask E. Jean is both a portrait of the thrilling, storied life of a singular icon, and a gutsy exploration of what it takes for a woman to stand up to power and prove she is telling the truth about a historic assault. With the multi-million dollar bill for damages still unpaid and the legal battle rumbling on through the courts and the headlines, Ask E. Jean is critical viewing.
