The woman in me

Honest, raw, and very human. The Woman in Me doesn’t feel like a typical celebrity memoir — it feels like Britney finally telling her story in her own words. It’s emotional, eye-opening, and sometimes hard to read, but incredibly powerful. You finish the book seeing her life and her music differently. A must have!

She wrote this book for people to understand what she went through as an upcoming singer, and someone who was in the singing industry. She had a lot of trauma that happened to her in her life, and this book gives you a really good understanding of everything that she went through. I can honestly say she put her heart and soul into this book and I couldn’t put this book down, this book kept me intrigued, and I got through the book very quickly. For someone who wants to understand and kind of know what she went through and why she turned out the way she did then I would definitely recommend this book.

I'm only a third way in. Shipped lightening fast. The print quality of the book is very good. I like the rose and the purple foil, they captured her taste here and will look bomb on my bookshelf. As for the writing it's good. Amazing, no. But they painted an incredible picture of her life. Much better writing than I thought to be honest. I was expecting more scattered blurbs throughout the book but the way it's presented does honor her experience, and sounds like her up to an extent. Now, I do think the ghost writer went verbose in some areas that were unnecessary which derailed her voice in my head but I imagine getting the whole picture would be difficult. I was hoping for a thicker book as she's been through a lot. So I am a bit disappointed at that but nevertheless it's an interesting read thus far. As for Britney's life story. I have to say they were smart in starting with her lineage and she didn't hold back keeping her family accountable from the gate. Good on her for having conviction. I suddenly found myself understanding little quirks, connecting the dots, certain things would suddenly click in my head. For example her British accent and her relationship with a lynchpin matriarch elder. Very cool build up. Laying the ground work for her future decisions by presenting us with complex childhood family dynamics really has me understanding her choices and quirks much better than I ever realized I needed to be deep in thought of. Sometimes we judge from a place of pity or outsider perspective instead of compassion. Now I see the soft gentle feminine side of her mindset that we knew when she was younger start to peek through the pages. It's that sweet part of her soul that she doesn't show much nowadays, for good reason of course as she's been deeply hurt and damaged by other's greed, but that delicate nature is part of why most of us were charmed by her. I hope she finds her way back one day. She's been through a lot and I found myself relating to things she'd been through, and feeling deeply saddened by her sense of insecurity in childhood. Her insights correlate along with many of my own life experiences and traumas. I was taken aback by her growth in reflection, as one would believe anger would be the easy way to portray her story, not the case here, it's her appreciation for her past that has earned my deep respect beyond what I thought I had possessed prior to reading. Her story with her brother was touching and softened my distain for his participation in the matter of handling her affairs. Although I hope he is held accountable someday. It shows how loving and innocent she was and how grave a loss she has suffered, for it is those who are selfless that don't speak up only to suffer the most. Such a contrast to the presentation of her character in the media. Thus far this book is an excellent read! ------ To be Continued * I'm looking forward to reading through this book in it's entirety and will update when I'm done. One star for the writing not sounding like her in some places. I will change accordingly.

As someone who is neither a huge fan, nor someone who dislikes her (and someone who reads a lot of memoirs), this is my completely unbiased, honest review. As for the writing, this was a very quick and easy read. The chapters are short and it’s written at an elementary level. Definitely seems written in her own words but with help of someone else that knows writing, but still let her kind of do what she wants with it. The chapters are just marked by numbers instead of subjects and there’s no pictures in the book. Some sentences I had to try to guess what she really meant, otherwise it didn’t make a lot of sense. A lot of things are repeated as well. The prologue was short and just had to do with when she was a little girl, not what a prologue is supposed to be. It was something that could have just been written into one of the first chapters. The first page of the book, the dedication, is to her sons. At the end of the book where the thank yous go, she said the book is for her fans. Not saying it can’t be both though… As for the book’s contents, most of the book is about the conservatorship and how much she hates her family. She really glossed over the biggest parts of her career. Not saying the conservatorship shouldn’t have been a big part of the book, but I feel like the first few years of her career after her first album should have had a lot more great stories. The relationship she talked about the most was JT, but even then I think there was a lot left unsaid. She really summed up all other boyfriends/husbands within one or two chapters. The most scandalous parts of the book, in my opinion, don’t have to do with JT or anyone else in particular, but for all the things we find out she was doing at 13 and 14 years old. That was the most fun to read anyway, because we never knew. I do like her to some extent and feel horrible for everything she had to go through, (because she really made it sound bad) and it’s great that she finally came clean about some stuff in her life. And could even say the opposite of coming clean…she says she wasn’t doing a lot of things that were speculated. So I still recommend the book and think it’s worth reading, it just wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. It’s kind of like she didn’t want to talk about anything other than the conservatorship or anything else where she thought people took advantage of her so she breezed right through all the other years of her life to get to that. But I still respect whatever someone wants to put out there about their life and I can see why she wanted to tell her side of her own story. Oh my book didn’t have sticky or grease stains like some others said they got, but part of the book binding came undone when I was about a third of the way through, so not the best quality.

This book was so good, I literally read it in one day (normally a book this size would take 4 or more days for me)! I’ve been a big fan of Miss Britney from the beginning of her career and was very invested in the #freebritney movement. This not only covers all of the horrors she went through with the conservatorship, but we also see th patterns of abuse this poor woman endured throughout her life and career! And through it all, she has endured and is living her life for HER, on her own terms. That is such an inspiration!

Speechless and sad. A must read for everyone. I'm glad she finally wrote this book. Must have been very therapeutic for her. On the surface, we think celebs hv a better life than us but we're wrong. Shame on everyone who let her down esp her family. This is the one book that I cdnt stop reading. It ws very well written. Chapters are short,she doesn't dwell and dt makes it evn more interesting. Great book!

Great price for such a good book,love the graphics as well

Étant fan de Britney Spears, je ne m’attendais pas à découvrir grand-chose de sa vie au travers de son livre. Et pourtant, j’ai été profondément bouleversée et même choquée à de nombreuses reprises. Que vous soyez fan ou pas de l’artiste, ses mémoires ne vous laisseront pas indifférent. Car ici il s’agit avant tout de l’histoire d’un être humain qui a été complètement déshumanisé au profit de sa famille et d’un management dépourvus du moindre scrupule. C’est aussi l’histoire un système incroyablement défaillant: on ne peut s’empêcher de se demander comment la justice a pu laisser passer tout cela pendant tant d’années, et pourquoi ces monstres ne sont toujours pas derrière les barreaux à l’heure qu’il est… Enfin, on se demande surtout comment elle a pu survivre dans de telles conditions. Britney symbolise pour moi la résilience et, qu’on apprécie sa musique ou pas, son courage force le respect. Je recommande ce livre à tous ceux qui sont curieux de connaître sa vie, de lire sa version des faits qui ont été si souvent jugés tout au long de sa carrière (infidélité à Justin Timberlake, rasage de crâne en 2007, prestation ratée aux VMA de 2007, nudité sur Instagram…) et de découvrir comment cette horrible tutelle a été instaurée et a pris de l’ampleur jusqu’à la priver de toute liberté.

Britney Spears lässt alles in diesem Buch raus, man liest ihre Emotionen und es bleibt an einem hängen… ein muss!

Britney’s story isn’t just about survival—it’s about reclaiming power, finding peace, and shining brighter than ever. It's Shakespears, Bi**h!
