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.

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.

Empowering

As someone who grew up listening to Britney and reading about her every single day in the press, I thought I knew all there was to know. I guess I've taken away from listening to this, you truly never know what really goes on behind the scenes. Its raw, she doesn't really sugar coat anything: it's honest, frank. How her parents treated her is abhorrent but, it's empowering to hear how she fought back. Britney is freed.

Raw, honest and heartbreaking 💔

Must read for all Britney fans, although I wish this wasn't her reality. Britney eloquently tells her truth of oppression, exploitation and abuse and at times it is a hard read.

Amazing couldn't stop listening

Truly eye-opening to hear Britney's story after all this time. Been a fan since I was 8 and always wondered what really happened to her not what the media wanted to show us.
I'm happy you are finally free and hope she can now get on with the things in life that make her happy without bothering about anyone else's opinions .

Raw, emotional and so real

Over a decade ago Britney Spears said to mtv “you know, but you have no idea” those words ring so true about this book. As much as we thought we knew, thought we’d read- nothing can prepare you for the raw emotion of this book. Parts of it read like a horror movie- parts of it leave you so happy but equally so sad, at times I was brought to tears. She articulates her story so brilliantly here. Similar to viola Davis’s book- this isn’t a “celebrity memoir” this a survival story.

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.
