"In Britney Spears's memoir, she's stronger than ever." --The New York Times
Over 2 million copies sold of the "moving" (Time), "powerful" (Los Angeles Times), "radiant" (The New York Times), "poignant" (Vogue) #1 New York Times bestseller. 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.
"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."
"The book leaves the reader with the sense that she hasn't yet totally figured out who she is. Ultimately, what is clear is that Britney Spears is a woman recovering from trauma. And we ought to give her the space to do so"
