Not my type : one woman vs. a president is a book by veteran journalist E. Jean Carroll reclaiming her story in this irreverent, defiant memoir of having her private life laid bare while the world watched during her contentious and highly publicized court trials. You may have heard about the tantrums, the seething, and the storming out of court. But what about her side of the sexual assault and defamation cases against US president Donald J. Trump? It's all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even. Did you know that in 2023 a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump liable for both sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 1996 and defaming her in later public statements denying her allegations?(The jury awarded $5 million for the sexual abuse finding and $83.3 million for damages tied to defamation.)
