Monica Lewinsky admitted that being a woman played a large role in why she was scrutinized in the media.
In April, Lewinsky seemingly alluded to her affair with Clinton when she was asked if she ever felt "wronged" in her career or cast as a "villain" for being a woman in a situation where a man would normally be praised.
"I definitely feel that being a woman had so much to do with what my experience was," she said while appearing on a panel titled "The Fluency Gap in Women's Wealth." "I think also being a woman who didn't necessarily look like the person someone assumes would be in a situation like that."
