Summary

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.

Get your tissues out!

AMAZING! Thank you, Britney, for sharing your story. Michelle Williams did an outstanding job narrating. I have laughed and cried, been angry and sad all through reading one book.

Essential reading for Millennials

Essential reading for all millennials- or anyone who’s ever loved or judged Britney. The grace and absolute compassion she has even after everything she has been through is awe inspiring and so beautiful. Her heart has always been so very beautiful and it absolutely shows through throughout this as she talks about friends, colleagues and other contemporaries. Britney Jean Spears is without a doubt one of the most beautiful souls and the way she talks about her love and respect for others is so beautiful. Even when she’s talking about being hurt and disrespected, she does it in a way that is so kind and without the edge of anger. It must’ve taken a lot to get to that stage so I commend Brit for her healing journey and wish her well.

Yes, there are two sides to every story, and now we have Britney’s in Britney’s own words - her horrid family should be so terribly ashamed of their actions. That no one stood up for her… absolutely despicable.

While we all know Jamie is the villain of the piece (but whoa, those bombs!), Lynne is not much better for passively standing by and doing nothing, especially when Britney was begging. And Bryan 😒 for shame. Trying to get dad’s approval by letting him exploit your little sister? You’re an absolute fricken wrong’un. Jamie-Lynn you may have been a kid at the beginning, but you were an adult when she asked for help, and then you capitalised on your sister’s name rather than helping her. So shame on you. Shame, shame, shame.

First five star read of the year for openness, honesty and integrity. For showing love and compassion to those who hurt you even when you didn’t have to. Jamie-Lynn certainly doesn’t deserve it and not even your two kids deserve the absolute love and forgiveness you’ve shown them after everything’s that come out but you rise, my sweet, Britney, you always rise. (And the overwhelming positiveness about Sam after what’s just happened, omg, Brit, babe!) Your heart is so beautiful. That they haven’t taken that from you is the true miracle.

Speechless.

To hear Britney finally speak on her own terms is unbelievable. Thank you for telling us your story.

Fighter, not a victim!

I was absolutely blown away by this book. Britney did not hold back and was so open and honest about her life. Michelle William’s performance was also fantastic and really brought her story to life. Britney is a survivor and I hope she can find peace in her life now ❤️

THE BEST CELEBRITY MEMOIR EVER WRITTEN!

My heart bleeds for Britney and all that she has been through. Such a strong woman who was wronged by so many men, her family, her team and the media. She deserved and deserves so much better. To the conspiracists, critics and media LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE. I wish her nothing but happiness, success, continued freedom and as much time with her boys as possible. Thank you Britney for sharing such raw and emotional stories. I hope there are serious criminal charges for everyone involved especially Jamie Spears and Lou Taylor. I hope she gets all the money back that was stolen from her. I hope that every celebrity managed by Lou at Tri Star leaves that corrupt business and it burns to the ground. Thank you for your music you will forever be an icon and a legend. You have done so much for the gay community. Keep spinning on Instagram, we love it. I bought this audiobook, the original hardback and the exclusive hardback and will treasure them forever. I can’t wait for Part 2

Great read

This book is just another reminder about the importance to extend kindness and grace. Sometimes we have no idea what people are going through in their personal lives. I've always wondered about some of Britney's performances during her Las Vegas residency and this book provided me with the answer. I wish her nothing but the best on her healing journey.
