About this audiobook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD! · GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR BEST MEMOIR · NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY PEOPLE

Named a Best Book of the Year by Elle, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, NPR, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, and more!

“In Britney Spears’s memoir, she’s stronger than ever.” —The New York Times

Critically acclaimed as “a miracle” (The Guardian), “powerful” (Los Angeles Times), “radiant” (The New York Times), and “poignant” (Vogue), The Woman in Me reveals for the first time Britney Spears’s incredible story.

“A genuine page-turner” (Financial Times), it’s “presented so cleanly and candidly, The Woman in Me seems designed to be read in one sitting" (The New York Times). A “heartbreaking, jaw-dropping, but ultimately empowering story” (New York Post), this unforgettable memoir is “a testament to Spears’s essential fortitude of spirit—something that burns off these pages” (The Telegraph).

Editor's Note

It’s Britney...

A memoir by pop sensation Spears would be a must-read under any circumstances, but one published soon after the highly publicized battle to end her conservatorship is all the more compelling. Finally — after 13 years under her father’s control and a lifetime in the public eye — the singer speaks her truth about music, family, heartbreak, and reclaiming her independence. Actress Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”) narrates this testament to strength and resilience.

    This memoir is a loooong time coming. Her family and Justin and Kevin are the absolute WORSTTT. HOW DARE her dad do this to her. EFF HER MOM for not sticking up for her or helping Britney.
    I'm glad Britney finally has a chance to speak out and tell her truth. I hope she finally finds the deserved peace and happiness.

    In regards to reviews on writing/ghostwriting. It felt more like journal entries, points through a timeline to explain. I still felt the emotion Britney went through. Maybe she did use a ghostwriter if she dictate her life; honestly, I wouldn't want to relive some things she went through :(

    This is an eye-opening look into the hell Brittney faced throughout her life. I have been a Brittney fan my entire life. I knew she went through some bad things, but I never knew how horrible it was. I am so glad that she has shared her life and experiences with us. The fact that she was brave enough to share such deep private experiences is so inspiring.

    I hope she is finally able to live her life the way she wants and can find the happiness and the help that she has deserved from the beginning.

    Absolutely incredible! The amount of strength it must have taken to write this story, for Brittany to be so open, raw and vulnerable after everything she went through, the thought is enough to bring me to my knees. It is a stark reminder that even someone who seemed to the public to be doing so well can in reality be suffering. What she went through was inhuman and barbaric and i am so proud of her for finding the strength to tell her story even though it mist have been beyond difficult for her. Would definitely recomend!

    It was ok. Typical Hollywood memior of mistreatment. I was expecting a little more shock about relationships but I felt this was pretty tame for a Hollywood celebrity. Book club read.

    Years ago we took our daughter to see Britney. I was really surprised that the young woman that my generation loved to bash was an incredible performer.

    Seeing her dragged through the mud always made me pull for her. Her story is very sad. Is she truthful? I don't know but I believe her and her story gives me a lot of hope for her, her family and other young performers.

    Fantastic. I was indifferent to her music and story before I listened to this book. I only began listening to this audiobook for distraction. I was completely riveted by her story and was stunned by what her family and the industry put her through. Her strength to have endured all the injustices she suffered and to have arrived where she is today is an inspiration.
