Britney Spears poses topless on cover of brave new memoir as release date is confirmed

Britney Spears' highly anticipated memoir is due to be released this autumn.

The "brave" new book titled The Woman in Me has been in the works for the past couple of years since her controversial conservatorship order was lifted. Back in April, reports revealed that the writing process was complete and a bidding war had been ongoing with publishers battling over the memoir

Since then, Gallery Books have taken the project on, announcing the release date for October 24th 2023.

“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 said.

“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," she told People.

The star has been in the spotlight since she was a teen - hitting the top of the charts with her debut single, …Baby One More Time, when she was just 16.

In the years since, Britney has seen her life go through ups, downs, marriages, divorces, motherhood and more - and now she is said to have completed putting her life to paper.

Britney is said to have written her autobiography with the help of Time magazine journalist Sam Lansky and that it will be published this autumn.

The Woman in Me promises to reveal “for the first time her incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history,” according to a press release from Gallery Books. It will also “illuminate the enduring power of music and love — and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms.”

The Woman in Me is “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope,” the press release continues.

Sources have told The Sun that the book will "cover her most vulnerable moments including her relationship with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her controversial conservatorship".

"It will also detail how she came to find happiness with her husband, actor Sam Asghari."
