Book Review: #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso

The cover of #Girlboss shows author Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal’s founder and chief executive officer, standing defiantly against a pale pink background, hands on hips, in a severe black dress that plunges below her rib cage. The hashtag in the title reeks of a terrible marketing idea (“Millennial-speak? Perfect, you’re promoted!”), but among the glut of leadership books featuring paunchy old men in power suits, at least #Girlboss has a shot at standing out.
