#GIRLBOSS

Description

In the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post called “Lean In for
misfits,” Sophia Amoruso shares how she went from dumpster diving to founding
one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world. Amoruso spent her teens
hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover
bagels. By age twenty-two she had dropped out of school, and was broke,
directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school—a job she’d
taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to
start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Flash forward to today, and she’s the
founder of Nasty Gal and the founder and CEO of Girlboss. Sophia was never a
typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she’s written GIRLBOSS for other
girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success,
even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysayers. GIRLBOSS
proves that being successful isn’t about where you went to college or how
popular you were in high school. It’s about trusting your instincts and
following your gut; knowing which rules to follow and which to break; when to
button up and when to let your freak flag fly. “A witty and cleverly told
account . . . It’s this kind of honest advice, plus the humorous ups and downs
of her rise in online retail, that make the book so appealing.” —Los Angeles
Times “Amoruso teaches the innovative and entrepreneurial among us to play to
our strengths, learn from our mistakes, and know when to break a few of the
traditional rules.” —Vanity Fair “GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . .
GIRLBOSS is a movement.” —Lena Dunham Read more
