Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky

By BBC Sounds

Dua is joined by Monica Lewinsky, whose long list of credentials includes anti-bullying campaigner, Vanity Fair writer on issues related to public shaming and the #MeToo movement, and producer (including credits such as the acclaimed documentary '15 Minutes Of Shame'). For most listeners, Monica will need no introduction: when news of her affair with President Bill Clinton broke in 1998, she became ‘Patient Zero’ of the internet, the first person whose global humiliation was driven online. Here, Monica discusses with Dua how she found the courage to reclaim her own story, her evolving relationship with feminism, and the work that still needs to be done to prevent history from repeating itself.
