'A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it'
The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, & dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, & working a mediocre day job she'd taken for the health insurance .It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.
Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, & creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees. Sophia's never been a typical CEO, or a typical anything, & she's written #GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seek-ing a unique path to success, even when that path is winding as all hell & lined with naysay-ers.
#GIRLBOSS includes Sophia's story, yet is infinitely bigger than Sophia. Filled with brazen wake-up calls ('You are not a special snow-flake'), cunning and frank observations ('Failure is your invention'), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground.
