#GIRL-BOSS, Sophia Amoruso
Amoruso makes it to most of our WOTC reading lists simply because you cannot think of being a girl boss, without thinking of the former Nasty Gal owner. The part-memoir, part-business biography recounts Amoruso’s life as a fashion entrepreneur, who made her start selling vintage clothing on eBay while working security at an art school in San Francisco. Since the takeoff of Amoruso’s book, the Girlboss movement has now spun off to include an online publication and a Netflix series starring Britt Robertson.
