Summary:
In the brand new York Situations bestseller that this Washington Post called ‘Trim Set for misfits,’ Sophia Amoruso shares how she went from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world.
Sophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels. By age twenty-two she experienced decreased out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school-a job she’d taken for medical insurance. It about #GIRLBOSS was in that lobby that Sophia made a decision to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.
Flash forward ten years to today, and she’s the creator and executive chairman of Nasty Gal, a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with an increase of than four hundred employees. Sophia was never an average CEO, or a typical anything, and she’s written #GIRLBOSS for other women like her: outsiders (and insiders) looking for a unique path to success, even when that path is certainly windy as all hell and lined with naysayers.
#GIRLBOSS proves that achieving success isn’t about where you went to college or how popular you were in senior high school. It’s about trusting your instincts and following your gut; understanding which rules to follow and which to break; when to button up so when to allow your freak flag journey.
