![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() No longer shorthand for success, girlboss has become, well, an insult. It’s a way for women to reframe success for ourselves, on our own terms, for the first time in history.” But more recently, the meaning of girlboss has begun to shift. As Amoruso explained in 2017, “Girlboss is a feeling, a philosophy. The term girlboss became synonymous with a bubbly She-E-O who had climbed her way to the top of the corporate ladder, or a capable woman with an aspirational career. Though Girlboss received poor reviews - Vanity Fair suggested it was Netflix’s first “truly terrible” show - and was canceled after one season, it did manage to leave an indelible impact on the culture. Loosely based on former Nasty Gal CEO Sophia Amoruso’s 2014 memoir of the same name, the show arrived one year after Amoruso was named one of the ‘richest self-made women’ by Forbes for her thriving ecommerce business, which at its height, pulled in over $100 million in sales and employed over 200 people. In 2017, Netflix debuted Girlboss, a fumbling comedy following the trajectory of Sophia, a Bay Area burnout who begins flipping vintage clothing on eBay and builds an accidental empire in the process. ![]()
