Britney Spears is all set to release her much-anticipated bombshell memoir, The Woman in Me, on October 24, 2023. The tell-all memoir is Britney's telling of her own story.
Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, who acquired the memoir after a bidding war, released a press statement about The Woman in Me, calling the book "a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope".
Jennifer Bergstrom, Gallery Books Senior Vice-President and Publisher, told People magazine, "Britney’s compelling testimony in open court shook the world, changed laws, and showed her inspiring strength and bravery. I have no doubt her memoir will have a similar impact — and will be the publishing event of the year. We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last."
Britney and the conservatorship
This memoir comes at a time when the 41-year-old American singer-songwriter ended her conservatorship in November 2021 after her father, Jamie Spears, controlled her life and finances, including her $60 million estate, for a period of 13 years.
Jamie Spears was appointed her conservator in 2008.
The conservatorship ended in November 2021 after a sensational and lengthy legal battle.
Britney Spears was inclined towards writing a memoir and sharing her story with the world. She landed a publishing deal with Simon & Schuster in February 2022, and it was worth as much as $15 million.
