E. Jean Carroll’s newly released book “Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President” delves deep into her legal battles with President Donald Trump, presenting a narrative that has further polarized an already divided nation. The 81-year-old journalist’s work combines memoir with an account of her high-profile lawsuits against Trump for sexual abuse and defamation, lawsuits that resulted in substantial monetary awards in her favor. Does this book provide any significant value other than anti-Trump sentiment?
Carroll’s Book and Legal Battle
E. Jean Carroll’s “Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President” was intentionally kept secret during production to avoid potential interference from the White House. The 81-year-old journalist and author received an $83 million defamation judgment against President Donald Trump in January 2024, following a previous $5 million verdict in May 2023 for sexual abuse and defamation.
The book recounts Carroll’s accusations that Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Carroll approaches the serious subject matter with what reviewers describe as a blend of humor and gravity, frequently citing Trump’s denial quote – “I don’t know who she is” – even using it as promotional material for her book.

Content and Context
Carroll’s work connects her personal experiences to broader discussions about sexism and accountability. In interviews promoting the book, Carroll has stated that “a woman is never too old to get even,” framing her legal victory as a form of delayed justice rather than simply a personal vindication.
The book is part of Carroll’s larger literary output, which includes her earlier work “What Do We Need Men For?” This previous book contained her “Most Hideous Men of My Life List,” detailing 21 men who allegedly mistreated her, with Trump among them.

Public Reaction and Political Divides
Carroll’s narrative has received sharply different receptions across the political spectrum. Supporters view her as courageous for confronting a powerful figure, while critics question her motives and timing, especially given the book’s release during an election year.
The book provides detailed descriptions of the trial proceedings, including unflattering portrayals of Trump’s legal team. Carroll particularly focuses on defense lawyer Alina Habba, describing her as intelligent but lacking legal knowledge, observations that have further fueled debate about the objectivity of Carroll’s account.
Legal developments continue to unfold alongside the book’s release, with a federal appeals panel recently denying Trump’s bid to appeal the $5 million judgment. This ongoing legal saga ensures that Carroll’s book remains not just a literary work but also a document intertwined with current events and political discourse.
