  • Summary

  • From Mickey Mouse Club to global pop sensation, Britney Spears spent the formative years of her life being shaped by the music industry machine.

    A machine notorious for oversexualising young women and controlling every aspect of their image.

    She was sold to the public as a Southern belle who was saving herself for marriage while simultaneously being marketed as an object of sexual desire.

    So how did the music industry machine shape Britney Spears and how much control did she really have?
