My Take
E. Jean Carroll's arc is the kind that earns my genuine admiration. She spent twenty-six years dispensing advice in Elle, one of the longest-running such columns in American publishing, learning to hold strangers' messiest problems with wit. Then, in her seventies, she turned that voice on the most powerful man in the country. There is something deeply fitting about a woman who spent a career answering everyone else's questions finally insisting hers be heard. Whatever side of the headlines you sit on, the sheer nerve of standing up that late in life and refusing to be quiet is rare.
