A woman in control, taking charge of her own circumstances in work & life. Someone who knows her worth and won't accept anything less. She is not a "mean girl" in fact, she hates "mean girls." She is empowering and inspiring to those around her. She kicks ass!
A girlboss knows that if you don't have big dreams and goals, that you'll end up working really hard for someone who does.
