She kinda' ain't, tbh. She's a figure, but not a major one. Sorta' a major figure in libertarian philosophy or literature, but even they don't tend to cite her works particularly often.
Honestly, she's well known mostly because of the volume of some of the folks attracted to her message, not because of the merit of the work itself or the meaningful influence it's had on any particular field. Kinda' like Twilight or somethin', now that I think about it.
Guess if you really want to know more, you could give the forum a search or wait for someone who cares more about her nonsense to chip in. There's a few folks idling around that can give a pretty decent breakdown on exactly how her shit is shit, heh.
E: Though I've kinda' belatedly noticed that wasn't really the question. If you're wondering why the message appeals to some folks, I can't really help you. It's a mindset that's pretty foreign to me, and I think my ability to ken and communicate that sort of thing has degenerated a bit. Either that or this headache is getting in the way.
