An unstoppable force and global pop icon in the late 1990s and 2000s, the trappings of fame have hit singer Britney Spears hard in the years since. Crippling anxiety combined with punishing, sordid attention thrust upon her by paparazzi and others fueled a much-publicized breakdown in 2007 and 2008.

With Spears on Wednesday set to appear virtually at a court hearing discussing her conservatorship, today’s Daily Dose delves into the ins and outs of that legal concept, the prominent international cases in which women have faced similar restrictions on their autonomy and the important docs to watch to help you become better informed.
