When Wendy Williams said "Death to all of them!" she was right. We live in a society that put Britney Spears through absolute hell back in the 2000s, and if her memoir proves anything it's that we all owe her and apology and the peace that she deserves. The mistreatment and abuse she face when all she wanted to do was see her kids was diabolical, and you can feel the true depth of her pain in the pages of this book.

“Emerging radiant through the chaos . . . in Britney Spears’s memoir, she’s stronger than ever. . . . [It's] presented so cleanly and candidly that The Woman in Me seems designed to be read in one sitting. It’s nearly impossible to come out of it without empathy for and real outrage on behalf of Spears, whose admitted bitterness over the dire circumstances of the last decade-plus of her life . . . is tempered by an enduring, insistent optimism." —TheNew York Times
“Moving." —Time
"Powerful in its vividness . . . much has been made of the 'bombshell' revelations from this memoir . . . but vastly more interesting are the quiet revelations about herself. . . . Spears has always been funny and so unequivocally herself, even when recounting her mistreatment by most of the men in her life. . . . You can sense Spears gaining her power back, inch by inch. The Woman in Me is a worthy act of self-resurrection." —Los Angeles Times
