In the space of ten years, Sophia Amoruso has gone from high-school dropout to founder and Executive Chairman of Nasty Gal, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world.

Sophia”s never been a typical executive, or a typical anything, and she”s written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success.

Filled with brazen wake-up calls, cunning and frank observations, and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal”s meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground. It proves that success doesn”t come from where you went to college or how popular you were in school. Success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break.

Inspiring, motivating and empowering, #GIRLBOSS will give you the kick up the ass you need to reach your potential.

Review quote:

#GIRLBOSS is more than a book and Sophia Amoruso is more than a purveyor of (fine and fly) garments.
#GIRLBOSS is a movement – a philosophy for making your work life as fun, fresh and raunchy as your personal adventures. Sophia encourages us to own the qualities we”ve previously been ashamed of (bossiness, crudeness, petty thievery) in order to become the masters of our own destiny, financially independent and radically ourselves.
I”m so in

Amoruso”s voice is accessible and charmingly self-deprecating without losing the effortless cool that characterizes her clothes…Being anti-establishment is teh old cool. The new cool is playing by your own rules and still winning by their standards
