Publisher's 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.

Finally we get to hear her side

This is a simple, quick listen very well narrated. It is the story we wanted to hear from her instead of watching several documentaries about her without her input. The truth. I applaud her honesty about her mental health struggles and the crimes against her was honestly such a human rights violation that we all just watched happen. I teared up hearing what she went through.

What a story

Michelle Williams was the perfect choice to read this, as she gave an incredibly empathetic, compassionate and compelling brevity to what is ultimately quite a dark story. She elevates the writing with a thoughtful performance. To be clear: the story itself is incredible and the writing is very honest, albeit it rambles or starts to get somewhat repetitive and is also very colloquial in its tone. This is not a great work of literature but is an incredible achievement all the same.

Fantastic

Absolutely loved it. That poor woman what she has been through so sad. Don’t buy her Mother or Sister’s books they are nothing but gold diggers. Brittney’s Mother and Father should have been done for child abuse.

Interesting even if you’re not a fan

I’m not particularly a Britney fan but wanted to hear her side of things after seeing so much about her life in the media. The book gives a disturbing overview of how she was treated as a cash cow at the expense of her well being. Her parents have so much to answer for, legally and morally. Overall a good listen that was well narrated.

Genuinely surprised

I really enjoyed this book and found it compelling and authentic. People will react to it I am sure but I found her account full of genuine emotion and didn’t gloss over any flaws.

Very interesting

Great to finally hear Britney’s side of the story and very sad that her family were such arseholes to her! I gave it 5 stars as I’m a Britney fan and wanted to hear all the gods! This audio could be a bit boring for people that aren’t fans of her or who have not grown up as her being one of their idles. I’m amazed Britney that you got through this as well as you did and good luck to you in your future x

Better than I was expecting.

I’m a big Britney fan. I wasn’t expecting a lot from this book, because I wasn’t really sure how “raw” Britney was actually going to be.
Well I was really surprised. She really went there.
I was also surprised how much Michelle Williams sounds like Britney. I found myself forgetting it wasn’t Britney doing the reading.

If you’re a Britney fan it’s a must-read. Or even just a pop culture nerd, a must read/listen.

Insightful

What an amazing strength Britney has shown throughout her life. Shame on all of those people that have taken advantage of her for their own personal benefit. This memoir is beautifully told and read by Michelle Williams. It really provides insights from Britney’s perspective on all of the big media events over the years and the fact that she did everything she could just to see her children…and was ultimately punished for that. I’m sure her story will continue. Thank you for sharing your story Britney.

Raw and Real! A real eye opener!

A long standing fan of Britney I had to listen to this. I couldn’t help but get emotional throughout as she shared her story. As a father now, it really struck a chord as I look at my daughter and only want the best for her. Her father was not a father at all. Her fans gave her strength and I hope that strength will guide her towards finding true happiness. We will eagerly wait for the only pop princess the world knows to return to the stage and create the magic you were so well known for. God bless you, Britney Spears. Thank you for sharing your story.

Sad for her xx

Hearing all this confirmed what we all knew. I felt incredibly sad. And while sometimes I wanted to hear a little more detail, I do feel it’s enough for us to know what happened and for her to still have some privacy. I hope she can have a beautiful and peaceful life moving forwards

Amazing

What they put this poor woman through was criminal. Michelle Williams does an amazing job of brining these words to life.
