00:00 Britney Spears released her bombshell memoir, The Woman in Me, on October 24th.

00:05 The book spans over four decades of the singer's life.

00:08 The book begins with Spears discussing her faith and love of singing as she grew up in

00:11 Kentwood, Louisiana.

00:14 Spears also details some of her darkest days from her past, including how she's long felt

00:18 under extreme scrutiny.

00:21 She breaks her silence on how she's been affected by the 14-year conservatorship she was put

00:24 under after mental health challenges in 2008.

00:27 "I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself.

00:33 The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood," Britney says.

00:37 Britney writes that she was considered too sick to choose my own boyfriend, yet somehow

00:40 healthy enough to appear on sitcoms and morning shows and to perform for thousands of people

00:44 in a different part of the world every week.

00:47 She also mentioned her infamous 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer.

00:50 Looking back, the singer says she felt exploited.

00:53 "I felt like I had been exploited set up in front of the whole world," Britney wrote.

00:58 In a different passage, Spears talks about the music video for Justin Timberlake's 2002

01:01 song "Primary River."

01:04 She says that while the media backlash in response to the video painted her as a harlot

01:07 who broke in the heart of America's golden boy, in reality, she was comatose in Louisiana

01:12 and he was happily running around Hollywood.

01:15 In another revelation about her relationship, Spears shared that she became pregnant with

01:19 Timberlake's baby but had an abortion, an experience she kept private for 20 years.

01:24 "It was a surprise, but for me it wasn't a tragedy.

01:27 I love Justin so much.

01:29 I always expected us to have a family together one day.

01:32 This would just be much earlier than I had anticipated," she explains.

01:36 Britney also opened up about her decision to shave her head in 2007.

01:40 "Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back," Britney writes.
