August 12, 2019 E. Jean Carroll on the precarious role of men
It's been 24 years since E. Jean Carroll walked into Bergdorf Goodman and was assaulted by the current leader of the free world. As a self-described member of the Silent Generation, E. Jean didn't dwell on the incident that would ultimately change her life and become a defining story in her new collection of essays, a memoir titled, "What Do We Need Men For?" Inspired by the #MeToo movement and the countless readers she's encountered as a longtime advice columnist for Elle Magazine, E. Jean's book traces her life as a woman growing up in the midwest, as a reporter, along with a lifetime of compromising behavior and abuse most women have encountered at some point in their lives, too. Make sure to catch this week's episode of UnStyled, because E. Jean is no longer remaining silent, and you'll definitely want to hear what she has to say.

Tune in to this week’s episode of UnStyled where Jenny shares a different side of the funny woman we've seen before—from breakups that have shaped her, her exit from SNL, her writing (she has a new collection of essays hitting in the fall), and the critical way she's learning to "hold on" and thrive through it all.

Elaine Welteroth knew she was destined to work in the magazine industry.

Although Elaine was the guiding hand behind Teen Vogue's transformation from a fashion magazine to a cultural touchstone in the political sphere, she eventually broke away to ultimately grow in new and unexpected ways. Tune in to this week's conversation to hear more from Elaine on how venturing into the unknown led her to exactly where she wanted to be (even if she didn't know it in the moment).
