When E. Jean Carroll stepped into a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996, she epitomized a certain flavor of late-20th-century Manhattan. She’d gumptioned her way from a childhood in flyover country to a journalism career. 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. With a magnifying glass, she’d deciphered Lebowitz’s phone number, then called the writer up and suggested they do a story for Outside magazine in which Carroll took Lebowitz camping. Lebowitz bit, and the rest is history.
