#GIRLBOSS

In the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post called €œLean 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.

€œA 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

€œAmoruso 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

€œ#GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . . #GIRLBOSS is a movement.€ €"Lena Dunham
