“In Britney Spears’s memoir, she’s stronger than ever.” —The New York Times
Critically acclaimed as “a miracle” (The Guardian), “powerful” (Los Angeles Times), “radiant” (The New York Times), and “poignant” (Vogue), The Woman in Me reveals for the first time Britney Spears’s incredible story.
“A genuine page-turner” (Financial Times), it’s “presented so cleanly and candidly, The Woman in Me seems designed to be read in one sitting" (The New York Times). A “heartbreaking, jaw-dropping, but ultimately empowering story” (New York Post), this unforgettable memoir is “a testament to Spears’s essential fortitude of spirit—something that burns off these pages” (The Telegraph).
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It’s no exaggeration to say we’ve been waiting to hear Britney Spears tell her own story for decades. In The Woman in Me, the pop star finally pulls back the curtain, showing us the private realities behind her all-too-public life. That story begins tragically early—she began supporting her family as a child star in part because her alcoholic father Jamie Spears couldn’t hold down a job. As she walks us through her experiences with superstardom, her relationships with Justin Timberlake (who does not come off well) and dancer Kevin Federline, and her eventual imprisonment in a 13-year conservatorship by her father, it’s her family’s continual gaslighting and abuse that remain heartbreakingly constant, even beyond the shocking restraints of the conservatorship itself. (She literally ate chicken and canned vegetables every night for two years because Jamie controlled her meals.) This memoir is what #FreeBritney was all about, and it proves we were right to worry.

Love u
Amazing read. Insightful. Love u Britany
A story that deserves to be heard
I hope the world hears her story and feels it. We are the same age and I’ve loved her since I first heard her on the radio. I read her words and my heart breaks that I have had the freedom to live my life the way I wanted having done essentially the same things she did just not in the public eye. Britney- you deserve a universe of peace and happiness and I hope you dance and drink all of the margaritas your beautiful little heart desires.
So good
Very eye opening!
