"The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion - it was a stolen boo
k. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving.
By age twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke,
directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school--a job she'd take
n for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start se
lling vintage clothes on eBay. Flash forward eight years to today, and she's the
Founder, CEO and Creative Director of Nasty Gal, a $100+ million online fashion
retailer with over 350 employees. Sophia's never been a typical CEO, or a typic
al anything, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for girls like her: outsiders (and insi
ders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is windy as all hell
and lined with naysayers"--Provided by publisher.
