Britney Spears' memoir The Woman In Me sets October date release date

Britney Spears’ long-awaited memoir The Woman In Me sets October release date and reveals stark cover… as she’ll delve into her controversial conservatorship ‘in her own words’

Britney Spears’ highly anticipated memoir will be hitting shelves in the fall, it was revealed on Tuesday.

The memoir, titled The Woman In Me, will be available on October 24, People shared. 

The book will be released by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, which engaged in a major bidding war last year to secure the rights.

Spears announced in April 2022 that she was writing a memoir, and she promised it would delve into the circumstances of her years-long conservatorship while taking an unvarnished look at her family members. 

Along with the announcement comes a view of the front cover, which features a stark black-and-white photo of Spears from years earlier.

‘Britney’s compelling testimony in open court shook the world, changed laws, and showed her inspiring strength and bravery,’ Jennifer Bergstrom, Gallery Books Senior Vice President and Publisher, told the publication. ‘I have no doubt her memoir will have a similar impact — and will be the publishing event of the year. We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last.’

According to a press release from Gallery Books, the memoir is set to reveal ‘for the first time her incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.’

The publisher also claimed the book ‘illuminates the enduring power of music and love — and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms.’

It further describes The Woman In Me as ‘a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith and hope.’ 

The book will reportedly cover not just the difficult 13-year conservatorship, but also Spears’ rise to fame and her prime years as a performer.

According to Variety, the deal for the memoir was said to be ‘record-breaking,’ and the agreement is believed to be worth as much as $15 million. 

Spears finished writing the book in July of last year, but a paper shortage in the publishing industry at the time delayed the tome.

The memoir was also reported to have been delayed in May of this year over concerns from two unnamed A-list stars who wrote letters to the publisher about their potential portrayal in the book.

Spears has previously said that she was opting to skip interviews with high-profile figures including Oprah Winfrey in favor of telling her story in her own words. 

The Woman In Me can already be preordered from multiple stores via Simon & Schuster.

The hardcover edition is apparently available for $32.99 in the US, while the digital edition can currently be reserved for $16.99, and the audio version is $24.99.
