Britney Spears is finally free to tell her story—and does so with the publication of her memoir, “The Woman in Me”, released on October 24, 2023. Spears’ autobiography details the "incredible journey [and] strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history,” according to a press release from Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books, which landed the rights to Spears' tell-all book.
First announced by the pop icon back in February 2022, the memoir is a "brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.”
Britney Spears's highly anticipated memoir is available now.
What is "The Woman in Me" about?
In Spears' bombshell memoir, the pop princess opens up about her career, her relationships, and her 13-year conservatorship that ended in 2021, in which Spears’ father, Jamie, was in complete control of her career decisions, assets, finances, estate, and even her reproductive rights.
In various excerpts from the book, Spears reveals she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake, felt like a "child-robot” under her “soul-crushing” conservatorship, and that shaving her head and acting out were her "ways of pushing back."
In a video posted to her Instagram on July 11, Spears told fans, "I worked my ass off for this book. I had a lot of therapy to get this book done, so you guys better like it. If you don’t like it, that’s fine too.”
Who will narrate Britney Spears' memoir?
Actress Michelle Williams narrates the audiobook for "The Woman in Me," while Spears provides the introduction to the audiobook. Speaking to People, Spears shared, “reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook,” adding, “I am so grateful to the amazing Michelle Williams for reading the rest of it.”
In a statement, Williams expressed her support for the "Gimme More" singer, stating: “I stand with Britney.”
