Washington (CNN) In a new essay for Vanity Fair, Monica Lewinsky said the #MeToo movement has forced her to confront the power dynamics of her 1990s affair with then-President Bill Clinton. "I am in awe of the sheer courage of the women who have stood up and begun to confront entrenched beliefs and institutions. Lewinsky's affair with Clinton was made public during the 1998 investigation conducted by independent counsel Ken Starr.

Lewinsky, who disclosed that she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the ordeal, said the #MeToo movement began to change her mind about the affair and the subsequent investigation.
