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.

So good i read it twice. A year apart, but still.
It was that great a read and resource i would recommend to anyone who needed a little lift in looking ahead and planning their career.
The no bulls**t tone and perspective should make you sit up and think, "geez, ok i get it, i'll move my butt into gear". Funny, relatable, insightful and sometimes a little bit shocking.
