A review by amanda_hyland
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

5.0

It almost feels wrong to review a memoir, since it is an emotional and sometimes-painful vehicle for the author to share their individual life experiences. As a diehard and long-time Britney fan, I couldn't put this one down and feel both inspired by Britney's strength yet horrified by what she had to endure, by members of her own family, the music industry and society as a whole. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a Britney fan, came of age in the 2000s, or is interested in unpacking the ways in which women (particularly young female celebrities like Britney) were treated by the media in the early aughts.
