I loved this piece, particularly the line: "But at the end of the day, [Amoruso] just wants women to take risks, fail, screw up, make mistakes, do stupid shit, and own up to it—and not have it define them forever."

Glad to see we've washed our hands of the girlboss and women who acknowledge their failure and work to recover, instead of just news dogging on someone about what went wrong.

I’ve been thinking about the question in the title of your post since yesterday, and I think my answer is “the girlboss” - and the phenomenon not the book - “was the acceptable face of female power.” Loved the profile, btw!
