Britney Spears will publish a highly anticipated memoir some two years after a court freed her from a strict conservatorship many deemed abusive and exploitative. The magnetic pop star's book The Woman In Me is set for publication on 24 October, after Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, acquired it. Spears lived nearly 14 years under a controversial legal arrangement that barred her from managing her own life and finances, a period in which she was largely governed by her father, Jamie. A Los Angeles judge in November 2021 dissolved the conservatorship. In one chilling accusation the singer said under the arrangement she was prevented her from having a contraceptive IUD removed despite her desire for more children. The 41-year-old has described being forced to work and tour, and said her phone was tapped. The book's cover was unveiled in a clip on social media. With the clip is a link for pre-orders of the book as well as it's release date. Spears also shared a video announcing that her book is "coming out very, very soon". She added: "I worked my ass off for this book. I had a lot of therapy to get this book done, so you guys better like it. And if you don't like it that's fine too."
