In an exclusive excerpt from her forthcoming memoir, “The Woman in Me,” Britney Spears reflects on over a decade under a conservatorship, feeling like a shadow of herself. The singer expresses the injustice of her father and associates controlling her body and finances, highlighting gender disparities in the treatment of artists.
Despite a public breakdown leading to the conservatorship in 2008, Spears regained control in 2021. The memoir delves into her loss of freedom, forced regression into a child-like state, and the stifling of her creativity. In an interview, Spears discusses ongoing challenges but emphasizes her journey toward a new, confident identity as a woman. The memoir releases on October 24 and is available for pre-order.
