Dive Insight:

Sophia Amoruso, a high school dropout who once sold shoplifted clothes on eBay, has had an unconventional rise in retail. New York magazine called her book, #GIRLBOSS, a “Millennial alternative to 'Lean In'” (Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg’s treatise on workplace feminism). The retailer has grown a lot recently, making its own clothes, expanding into shoes, and publishing a magazine. The latest changes could be a sign of trouble or just growing pains.
