Today, my friend E. Jean Carroll, advice columnist par-excellence, one of The New York Times most stylish people of 2023, courageous leader in the fight for justice for women, all-around badass turns 80 (!).
I’m not entirely sure how that’s possible as she continually runs rings around the rest of us but . . .
If you’re interested in a master-class in superb, sophisticated, and stunning writing; a big-hearted, empathetic approach towards the vagaries of human existence; and/or a chance to be a part of a community the members of which (the legendary Conflab) always have each others’ backs, please subscribe to Ask E. Jean, one of the greatest advice columns by the greatest advice columnists:
I love you, E. Jean.
What a coincidence. My sister, E. Jean Carroll is turning 80.m! I love her. So proud. And so happy she has friends like you, Mary!
When I grow up, I want to have even the tiniest fraction of E. Jean's Carroll's energy and grit and kindness and decency. She is just the absolute best. And what a triumph of a year she's had.
