Britney Spears will release her tell-all memoir, The Woman in Me on 24 October, the publisher announced on Tuesday.

The Woman in Me will be “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope”, according to a press release from Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, which acquired the memoir in a bidding war.
