Description

In the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post known as “Lean In for misfits,” Sophia Amoruso shares how she went from dumpster diving to founding one of the vital fastest-growing retailers on this planet.

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 once broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school—a job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was once in that lobby that Sophia made up our minds to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.

Flash forward to these days, and she’s the founder of Nasty Gal and the founder and CEO of Girlboss. Sophia was once never a regular CEO, or a regular anything, and she’s written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) in search of 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 type 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 some of the traditional rules.” —Vanity Fair
 
“#GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . . #GIRLBOSS is a movement.” —Lena Dunham
