520 " "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, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had
resigned herself to employment, but was still broke,
directionless, and 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, and 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, and she's written
#GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique
path to success, even when that path is winding as all
hell and lined with naysayers. #GIRLBOSS includes Sophia's
story, yet is infinitely bigger than Sophia. It's deeply
personal yet universal. Filled with brazen wake-up calls
("You are not a special snowflake"), 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. It proves that being successful
isn't about how popular you were in high school or where
you went to college (if you went to college). Rather,
success is about trusting your instincts and following
your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to
break. A #GIRLBOSS takes her life seriously without taking
herself too seriously. She takes chances and takes
responsibility on her own terms. She knows when to throw
punches and when to roll with them. When to button up and
when to let her freak flag fly. As Sophia writes, "I have
three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Don't ever
grow up. Don't become a bore. Don't let The Man get to
you. OK? Cool. Then let's do this." "--|cProvided by
