But her story has long been clouded by society's dark obsession with beauty, youth and fame — a relentless glare that has threatened to eclipse her musical success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mother, an entrepreneur; a victim, a fighter; an entertainer, an enigma - Britney's life is as multi-faceted as the very contradictions, pressures and expectations that helped create her. Yet, beyond the eye-catching headlines and front-page fodder, an almost indecipherable question remains: who is the real Britney?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart biography, part social history, \u003ci\u003eBeing Britney\u003c\/i\u003e pieces together a collage of vignettes, stories, interviews, legends and fan experiences to construct a definitive portrait of the artist and her complex, far-reaching orbit. Written by acclaimed music author Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, this unique narrative is the first to provide a sympathetic yet objective re-examination of Britney's cultural impact in the wake of major collective shifts surrounding feminism, celebrity and mental health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite her career spanning five presidents, multiple creative reinventions and over 100 million album sales, Britney's ability to come back again and again from highly publicised personal adversity has rarely been acknowledged. However, her successes keep stacking up and her relevance seems to grow with each passing year, culminating in a game-changing Las Vegas residency, a shocking conservatorship battle and a powerful #FreeBritney support campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeing Britney\u003c\/i\u003e is the compelling account of a talented, troubled and talked-about icon, whose life, work, and individual significance will be recognised for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423833964780,"sku":"9781788705240","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781788705240.jpg?v=1774769834","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/being-britney-by-jennifer-otter-bickerdike-9781788705240","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
