Girlboss

"Girlboss" is a term that emerged in the early 2010s, often associated with a movement encouraging women to pursue leadership and entrepreneurial roles. It promotes the idea of female empowerment in the workplace, advocating for women to take charge, break glass ceilings, and succeed on their own terms. The term gained popularity through Sophia Amoruso's book "Girlboss," which tells her story of founding Nasty Gal. However, it has also faced criticism for oversimplifying feminism and capitalism, suggesting that success is solely about individual effort rather than addressing systemic barriers women face.
