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.

Was hard to read but I couldn't stop

No rating

So, I think this is worth reading simply because Britney Spears is someone media loves to be very cruel to, and it's good to read something actually coming from her.

It is a very chronological memoir, and during some phases, the present-day commentary annoyed me a bit. But I think I might not have given Spears enough credit while reading – I think some of the comments that seem meek and understated might actually be a bit sarcastic.

I was a bit puzzled why Spears put so much focus on how prayer and a telepathic connection to her fans saved here, and not at all on someone putting the story out there (Wikipedia says "a voicemail message from a source who claimed to be a former member of Spears' legal team"). But eventually I concluded it's probably for legal reasons and also none of my business.
