“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).

What the critics say

"Actor Michelle Williams delivers a tell-all memoir from Britney Spears. As a child star on “The Mickey Mouse Club” and a teenage pop star, Spears always felt that other people were making decisions for her and was constantly tempted to quit show business. Williams uses a direct approach to voice Spears’s feelings, and these passages carry even more weight in this audiobook than the dramatic events of her life. Some key moments are already public knowledge, but Williams’s narration gives added perspective on the trauma, stress, and pressure Spears endured for so many years. Rarer joyful moments are delivered with warmth, reminding listeners that Spears is more than the spectacle the media has made her out to be."
"...narrator Williams’s gentle Southern drawl and slight vocal fry make this gripping memoir an unputdownable must-listen." (Elizabeth Gabriel)

I am shocked at some of the details Brittany exposed.
I am surprised how emotional I became at times... and angry ...so many times....at her father & her family, Dianne Sawyer for shaming a young girl...
But most of all, the Papparatzi Bastards...

How people treat others, like Brittany has been treated, is beyond me. I hope they are made to repay every penny they have left that she made them. Some should be publicly apologizing


I really enjoyed this Book.

It was well written, it kept me listening...the narrator was perfect,

My daughter and I brought it on our walk with the dog... We had to hear it all and didnt wantvto wait!!!!

I feel there more to tell...I'm looking forward to atcleast one more

Well Done!!

Congratulations !!

poignant and sad, Britany's story of her painful life in and out of the spot light, the control of her career and body and the subjugation to constant criticism.and humiliation . Its both very sad and inspiring. Revisiting her music library now, it feels like it makes so much more sense. The lack of compassion for celebrities as human beings is more real in Britany's story than in any televised interview of any famous person.

it all makes sense, sad sense

Really well-written, informative account of Britney's life. From early childhood to recent times, listening to this book has exposed a lot of what she went through and how that shaped the woman that she is. I enjoyed listening to it.

Eye-Opening

Hearing Britney describe the various incidents all of us bore witness to in the media from her own perspective was eye opening. Whether a fan of hers or not, this book serves as a good lesson in what the media/celebrity culture has done to distort our empathy — especially for female celebrities (and perhaps all women).

It’s reasonably written and follows a well-paced timeline. Michelle Williams did a great job narrating and often sounds like Britney when she was younger. It’s a quick listen and is interesting even if you don’t know a lot about Britney’s history.

I would have liked if the book was longer and went more in-depth to certain events and also how and what Britney was thinking and feeling. My hope is that Britney was in complete control of this story and only shared what she was comfortable with and not that it was rushed to publishing. Hopefully she considers writing another book at some point as a follow up. I’d love to hear what life becomes for her.

Her story deserves to be heard
