#Girlboss

Sophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters. By age 22 she had dropped out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Flash forward ten years, and she's the founder and executive chairman of Nasty Gal, a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with more than 400 employees. 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. #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.--Adapted from book jacket
