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.

Breathtaking

Finally her story in her own terms. Britney is such a strong, beautiful soul. She did not deserve to go through hell and back - and she is so brave to tell her story.

Her story is her own, but it is also a deep dive into what the world does to women. How children are used to control mothers and keep them hostage. How everything is picked apart and used to prove that women are “crazy” and “hysterical”. How acceptable it is to judge a woman as mentally incapable and yet it is perfectly ok to exploit her for entertainment. How women are ridiculed and punished for daring to defend themselves when they are cornered and being attacked.

So much truth and pain in this memoir. May it be a tool for discussion and change. May it be empowering and inspiring. May it be an anthem for freedom.

Okay, but a very one-sided perceptive view

Okay, I guess. It's nice to hear her thoughts and feelings but there are 2 sides to every story, and the way she portrays her story is very biased and a bit delusional, and paranoid.

Strong woman!

Excellent read. Highly recommend and Michelle William is a great choice as narrator. Britney is a survivor, not a victim. Enjoy your freedom!

Wow! This story will move the humanity in you.

I had no idea about everything that she went through. This book is a testament of her strength in character. Had that unjust conservatorship not ended, the world would never have known the misery she endured at the hands of her loved ones. The book is powerful and has made me realize just how much I take my freedom for granted. How dehumanizing it is to be an adult that is stripped of her freedom and dignity by her loved ones!

Eye Opening & Raw!!

Britney does not hold back her thoughts, feelings and experiences nor her emotions during the tumultuous memoirs of her life. Brilliantly read. Excellent writing. Shocking. You won’t want to put it down - She truly is a Survivor.

respectful and honest 🖤

Although people have hurt Britney she speaks about them with dignity. This is not a book about bashing people. It’s very respectful and truthful.

And now I’m STRONGER than yesterday

Finally Britney gets her say. This is heartbreaking yet shows strength and hope for the future. She delivers this with respect for those that wronged her. She gives them grace when they did nothing but use her. Go be free queen Britney

Interesting

Important to listen to her side of the story, as a woman especially. It’s such a highlight of firstly the media’s power over individual narratives, and the power of family trauma to shape the psychological narrative of multiple lives.

A well paced insightful story 

The story moved through her history at a good pace at no point was I bored. Only complaint was after I got past chapter 2 I had to listen to the end of the book neglecting my chores.

Brilliant and So Raw!

Omg, I love this book! It is inspirational and shows how strong she really is. She has finally gotten to tell her side of the story. The world has been such a mean place to her. With everyone else wrongly shaping the narrative for years, now we all get to know the truth from the one person who actually matters in all this. It's so powerful! I'm definitely listening to it again.

Britney Deserves Better

I managed to listen to the audiobook in 2 hours. My heart feels for Britney Spears who gained fame at such a young age that she gets exploited by the people she thought she could trust. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be constantly manipulated for the most part of her life and most importantly being deprived of her own children. The style of writing is not the most exciting but what matters most is the fact that she can finally tell her story in her own words and I spent a lot of time googling the events that she mentioned. I hope she will be able to get the justice and peace she deserves.

Heartbreaking and moving

I really was utterly appalled at the idea of a conservatorship. As a south African, I had never heard of this before. Can't believe this happened in a first world country like America. Brittany story is a testament of unbelievable strength but also a lesson about being too damn nice to people. Very moving. Michelle Williams did a brilliant Job and I felt like I was really listening to Brittany. ❤️❤️

Insightful & inspiring

Wonderful to better understand the human vs the celebrity & for Britney to tell her compelling story in her own words. Sometimes a difficult listen when aspects of her younger experience mirror your own. The book's ending is not totally up to date, but I suppose the lesson here is - the public is not entitled to such. Brilliantly narrated. Story well written.

What a waste of a credit

The story is very bland and the narrator doesn’t do it any favours either. Managed to get half way and bailed.
