A review by ehmannky
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

This is another book that has helped me solidify my belief that fame, especially for women and especially for women who became famous as children, almost inevitably leads to abusive and toxic situations. I think this is a really moving memoir. I knew the conservatorship was bad, but I just did not have any idea the depths to which her whole family aided and abetted her father's abuse of her. I'm glad she's free of her terrible family, and I'm glad she's getting time for herself and to recover from the decades of abuse she's experienced at the hands of her family, her exes (truly would like to fight Kevin Federline and Justin Timberlake in a parking lot). I don't think it's the best written memoir I've ever read, but it's compelling and I think a good read for anyone interested in the ways that disability rights are important for people on all levels of society.
