I picked this up because I had seen countless raving reviews for this book.
"The Woman in Me" is a memoir written by Britney Spears that chronicles her life and what was really going on behind closed doors.
I have never been a huge fan of Britney Spears, but I have always greatly respected her and the immense success she was able to achieve at such an early age. I do not think anyone alive in the 90's or the early 2000's did not recognize the name: Britney Spears. She was an icon and beloved by many.
It was truly horrifying and devastating to read about how controlled Britney's life became. No one should be forced to perform, and no one with that much notoriety should be given an allowance from the money they earned. Her father was a cruel man, and the way her entire family turned a blind eye to the abuse inflicted upon Britney, is truly sick. What I found most disturbing was that her children were used to make her a willing puppet, and she was denied the right to decide if she wanted more children.
I have even more respect for Britney Spears now, and I hope she continues to thrive and find all of the happiness she rightfully deserves.
