Monica Lewinsky



Monica Lewinsky is a social activist and former White House intern with whom United States President Bill Clinton admitted to having had what he called an "inappropriate relationship" in the mid-1990s. The affair and its repercussions, which included Clinton's impeachment, became known as the "Lewinsky scandal".

TED Speaker Bio
"After becoming the focus of the history-changing federal investigation into her private life, Monica Lewinsky found herself, at 24 years old, one of the first targets of a “culture of humiliation”: a now-familiar cycle of media, political and personal harassment – particularly online... Lewinsky survived to reclaim her personal narrative. During a decade of silence she received her Masters in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science. In 2014, Lewinsky returned to the public eye with an acclaimed essay for Vanity Fair, which has been nominated for a National Magazine Award for best Essay Writing, and with a widely viewed speech at Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Summit." – Source: TED
