Confronting and often heartwrenching, The Woman in Me is an eye-opening read.
I was born in the late nineties, growing up Britney Spears was one of the biggest stars in the world. Media coverage about her was constant and often unkind. 
Hearing what it was like for her was heartbreaking. 
I'm angry about how she was treated. I followed the free Britney movement and the end of her conservatorship. 

I think that the Womanhood angle was discussed in a bit of a clunky was in the final section which is the main reason this isnt a 5 star. It is a very valuable story to be shared.

Papparazzi and the Media are still guilty of some of the toxicity that Britney was the target of but it is a relief to see the progressive destagmatisation of mental health/postpartum depression. 

I hope she finds peace. While at times her Instagram feed makes me uncomfortable I know she is taking back the control of her own image.
