Page Turner: #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso

#GIRLBOSS by Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso has inspired a social media revolution using the book's title as inspiration. Her story is personal yet universal, telling her tale of a rocky path to success and what it means to be a #GIRLBOSS.

At the age of 22 she was broke, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving among other things, when she sold her first thing online- a stolen book. From there, she began selling vintage clothing items on eBay, and the rest is history.
Today, Amoruso is the CEO, founder and creative director of Nasty Gal, one of the most popular online clothing stores that has over 350 employees, and of course, she's a #GIRLBOSS. Her first book tells her unique path to success filled with humor and pitfalls, all while including tips that prove that you don't have to know what you want in life early on to find your success and happiness.

And don't forget, in the words of Amoruso, "Don't ever grow up. Don't become a bore. Don't let The Man get to you. OK? Cool. Then let's do this."
