BEING BRITNEY - JENNIFER OTTER BICKERDIKE KARTO...

With her canon of best-selling singles  electrifying stage performances and iconic music videos
Britney Spears is undoubtedly a modern pop superstar. 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. A 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? Part biography 
part social history  Being Britney 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. Despite 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. Being Britney 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.
