Girl Boss: Running the Show Like the Big Chicks: Entrepreneurial Skills, Stories, and Encouragement for Modern Girls

Discusses what it takes to be a successful "girl boss" and suggests ways to develop business interests and start a business

Subtitled Running the Show Like the Big Chicks, the latest release from Girl Press is an excellent resource for resourceful young women. Girl Boss provides tips, tricks, and TLC for girls who are interested in starting their own business projects. And it all comes in a hip layout with plenty of photos, sidebars, and graphics. As with the publisher's previous releases, Cool Women and Zine Scene, the emphasis here is that girls can do anything, and the text offers countless examples to prove it. From young women who have started their own vending machine, video production, and vibrant nail polish companies, to famous female bosses in history and legend, everything in this book tells emerging entrepreneurs to go for it. What is the girl boss attitude? Do you have a success mentality? How do you turn your great ideas into a booming biz? Readers will learn the answers to these and other questions, and in the process will accumulate acres of practical, tactical guidance and encouragement. X-Files star Gillian Anderson states in her inspiring introduction, "I believe from the bottom of my heart that there is nothing we as human beings, and especially we as women, cannot tackle." Go get 'em, girls. (All ages) --Brangien Davis
