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
