The trailblazing and fearless E. Jean Carroll, the only woman to beat Donald Trump in court — twice — and filmmaker Ivy Meeropol (After the Bite, Heir to an Execution) join us for clips and a conversation about Ask E. Jean, Meeropol’s award-winning documentary.
Carroll spoke her truth long before she did it in a courtroom. Ask E. Jean takes us inside her story – from groundbreaking journalist, author and advice columnist to breaking barriers as the first female editor at Esquire, Playboy, and Outside, helping redefine women’s role in male-dominated media. When she took Donald Trump to court for defamation and assault, she spoke truth to power in an unprecedented way, becoming the face of a national conversation about accountability and resilience. Hear Carroll and Meeropol talk about the making of the documentary, Carroll’s remarkable journey, and her belief that it’s never too late to reclaim your voice. And get your question ready: the talk will conclude with a one-of-a-kind opportunity for select audience members to “ask E. Jean.”
