Britney Spears - The Woman in Me

Author(s): Britney Spears

Biography / Memoir

The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope. In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.  Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

'Powerful in its vividness ... much has been made of the "bombshell" revelations from this memoir ... but vastly more interesting are the quiet revelations about herself ... Spears has always been funny and so unequivocally herself, even when recounting her mistreatment by most of the men in her life ... You can sense Spears gaining her power back, inch by inch. The Woman in Me is a worthy act of self-resurrection.' * Los Angeles Times * 'Emerging radiant through the chaos ... in Britney Spears's memoir, she's stronger than ever ... [It's] presented so cleanly and candidly that The Woman in Me seems designed to be read in one sitting. It's nearly impossible to come out of it without empathy for and real outrage on behalf of Spears, whose admitted bitterness over the dire circumstances of the last decade-plus of her life ... is tempered by an enduring, insistent optimism.' * New York Times * 'Anyone looking for starry anecdotes or studio vignettes won't find them here. Instead, The Woman in Me tells a focused story that makes inarguable the ties between patriarchy and exploitation, and deserves to be read as a cautionary tale and an indictment, not a grab-bag of tabloid revelations. After all Spears has lost, the sharpness of her perspective is a miracle. She repeatedly questions why - whether as a teenager in a crop top "corrupting" the youth, or a 25-year-old getting drunk at the club - she was perceived as "dangerous". May her truth pose a legitimate threat to the system that exploited her.' * The Guardian * 'Moving.' * Time magazine *
