American pop singer Britney Spears, who freed herself two years ago from a controversial tutelage exercised mainly by her father, will publish her autobiography in the fall, her publisher announced on Tuesday.
Entitled The Woman In Me (The woman in me) and presented as an “incredibly moving story of freedom, glory, motherhood, survival, faith and hope”, the book is expected in bookstores in the United States on October 24, said the American publishing giant Simon
The pop star, revealed in her adolescence by the tube Baby One More Time then confirmed by the successes Oops!… I did it again and Toxic, had been placed under legal guardianship in 2008, after having manifested psychological disorders. Almost fourteen years later, and at the end of a publicized legal saga, a court in Los Angeles lifted this guardianship in November 2021, deemed “abusive” by the singer, to allow her to regain control of her personal life.
Aged 41 today, the star had already spoken briefly since the lifting of the guardianship, which prevented her in particular from removing her contraceptive IUD despite her desire to have other children. The artist judges in particular that her father Jamie Spears had “punished” her during these years of guardianship by preventing her from “being able to see anyone or say anything”.
Written with “candor and humour”, Britney Spears’ memoir testifies to the importance “for women to finally tell their stories, in their own terms”, its publisher argued on Tuesday. “Are you ready,” added the singer on her Instagram account followed by more than 42 million subscribers.
