The book’s title is inspired by her 2002 hit from her 2001 third album, Britney, “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman,” where the chorus lyrics go as follows:
“I’m not a girl (I’m not a girl, not yet a woman)
Not yet a woman (I’m just trying to find the woman in me)
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I’m in between.”
According to the book’s description on Britneybook.com, The Woman In Me is considered “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.”
The description further highlights Britney’s 2021 conservatorship end and what it meant for the superstar.
"“In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact o 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 perfomers in pop music history.Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the endearing powerof music and love-and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.” -Britneybook.com"
Three months after her conservatorship termination, Britney signed a $15 million book deal with Simon and Schuster, and per Page Six from 2021, “the deal is one of the biggest deals of all time, behind the Obamas.”
Britney Spears’s ups and downs through the years and path to The Woman In Me
Britney Spears rose to the pop music circuit in the late 90s and quickly became the teen “Princess of Pop. Platinum hits such as “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” “You Drive Me Crazy,” and “Toxic” made the Mississippi/Louisiana native a household name and an international icon.
Throughout her 25-year career, Britney had her highs and lows. She won numerous awards for her music, guest-starred in a 2000 episode of The Simpsons, starred in the 2002 coming-of-age drama, Crossroads, held a Las Vegas residency, and even campaigned for Pepsi-Cola. She also became a mother of two boys, Sean and Preston, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline and many other accomplishments.
As this is a Kardashian site, Britney even partnered up with Kim Kardashian to help raise funds in 2011 for the St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit aiding victims of natural disasters along the Southern US and New York.
The two women met up again in 2012 for the Pre-Grammys Gala Event.
In 2022, Spears married her longtime partner, Sam Asghari.
In 2008, Britney was placed under a court-order conservatorship, materialized by her father, James “Jamie” Spears, for he feared for her psychiatric safety following a public breakdown. The ordeal lasted for thirteen years, and while it was originally initiated for the singer’s protection, the conservatorship lasted thirteen years, which blocked Britney of her freedom and personal finances. It was lifted in 2021 thanks to Britney’s supporting fans and those who never gave up on her.
“I just want my life back,” an emotional Britney shared with the courts in 2021.
Britney, you’re going to do just fine.
