Check Out A Sneak Peek Of Britney Spears’ Memoir ‘The Woman In Me’

Fans of pop star Britney Spears have less than a week to wait until her new memoir “The Woman In Me” hits shelves on Tuesday, October 24.

The tell-all memoir promises to open up on Britney’s strained relationship with her family, her love life, her illustrious career in the entertainment industry, and, of course, her controversial 13-year conservatorship.

On Tuesday, one week before the release of her bombshell memoir, People magazine released an excerpt from Britney’s memoir. The 41-year-old pop star described herself as a “child-robot” after being “infantilized” during her conservatorship.

“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” Britney wrote in her memoir. “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”

The 41-year-old pop star went on to say that she felt “like a shadow of myself” and went on to say that she had been “robbed” of her freedom. She went on to write:

“This is what’s hard to explain, how quickly I could vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they had robbed me of my freedom. There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn’t treat me like an adult, so I would regress and act like a little girl; but then my adult self would step back in — only my world didn’t allow me to be an adult.”

The “Toxic” singer went on to discuss the suppression of her inner self, writing, “The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time. I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human. They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”

In a People magazine cover story, the “Circus” singer revealed that she prefers to lead a low-key lifestyle. “I’m playing with my dogs ... [or] watching episodes of Friends and belly laughing. I love, love to travel and explore,” she said, adding, “I am a simple girl.” She also addressed the reason she decided to release a memoir.

“Over the past 15 years or even at the start of my career, I sat back while people spoke about me and told my story for me,” she said. “After getting out of my conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without consequences from the people in charge of my life.”

Unfortunately, reliving her past was not easy. “It's hard to speak about,” Britney said, adding that the memoir includes “not getting a moment of peace, the judgments from strangers who don't even know me, having my freedom stripped away from me by my family and the government [and] losing my passion for the things I love.”

“It is finally time for me to raise my voice and speak out, and my fans deserve to hear it directly from me,” she added. “No more conspiracy, no more lies — just me owning my past, present, and future.”

Although fans will undoubtedly get a lot of new information from her memoir, she just wants them to remember one thing: “Speak up. Be loud. Know your worth. Inspire people and most of all, just be kind.”

"The Woman In Me" will be released on Tuesday, October 24. An audiobook version of her memoir will also be released. The introduction will be read by the "Piece of Me" singer, while the rest of the memoir will be read by Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams.
