"Girlboss" is a term that emerged from the 2014 book "Girlboss" by Sophia Amoruso, which chronicles her journey from a struggling young woman to the founder of the successful fashion retailer Nasty Gal. The concept promotes female empowerment, entrepreneurship, and the idea that women can take charge of their careers and lives. The term gained popularity in popular culture, often associated with the rise of women in leadership roles and the push for gender equality in the workplace. However, it has also faced criticism for being overly commercialized and for sometimes promoting a narrow view of success that may not resonate with all women.
