Britney Spears tackles freedom, fame, survival in upcoming memoir

POP star Britney Spears will publish a highly anticipated memoir this fall, some two years after a court freed her from a strict conservatorship many deemed abusive and exploitative.

The magnetic pop star's book The Woman In Me is set for publication on October 24, after Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, acquired it. Spears lived nearly 14 years under a controversial legal arrangement that barred her from man- aging her own life and finances, a period in which she was largely governed by her father, Jamie

A Los Angeles judge in November 2021 dissolved the conservatorship. In one chilling accusation, the singer said under the arrangement she was prevented from having a contraceptive IUD removed despite her desire for more children. The 41-year-old has described being forced to work and tour, and said her phone was tapped.
