'''Monica Samille Lewinsky''' (born July 23, 1973)<ref name="cnn-whois"/> is an American activist. Lewinsky became internationally known in the late 1990s after U.S. President [[Bill Clinton]] admitted to having had an [[affair]] with her during her days as a White House intern between 1995 and 1997. The affair and its repercussions (which included [[impeachment of Bill Clinton|Clinton's impeachment]]) became known as the [[Clinton–Lewinsky scandal]].

Following the scandal, Lewinsky engaged in a variety of ventures that included designing a line of handbags under her name, serving as an advertising spokesperson for a diet plan, and working as a television personality. She obtained a master's degree in psychology from the [[London School of Economics]] in 2006. In 2014, Lewinsky began speaking out as an activist against [[cyberbullying]].
