Girlboss Launched A Linkedin For Millennial Women

Fast forward to 2014: Sophia Amoruso is the Founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, the fastest growing online fashion retailer in the country.  Amoruso’s debut book, #GIRLBOSS, chronicles her adventurous rise to becoming one of today’s most celebrated young entrepreneurs.

Part memoir and part business book with an edge, #GIRLBOSS is a sassy and irreverent look at Amoruso’s extraordinary personal journey filled with insights on entrepreneurship and career advice for young women.

As Amoruso writes, “A #GIRLBOSS is someone who’s in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it. As a #GIRLBOSS, you take control and accept responsibility . . .You know where you’re going, but can’t do it without having some fun along the way…You’re going to take over the world, and change it in the process. You’re a badass . . .”
