Per , she "has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in her specific field," her expertise being feminist theory, young feminists and feminist blogging; and per , she is "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by her peers."  She writes opinion pieces for notable publications AlterNet, Salon.com, and The Guardian, which attests to her notability.  She is frequently quoted in notable publications in articles about feminism and blogging (and feminist blogging), see http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2558279.ece 'Miranda complex' hits US women, http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/20/ING9CFPDNB1.DTL Casting doubts about Dowd on fall of feminism, http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0719/p14s02-ussc.html NOW at 40: What's left to do?, http://www.dawn.com/weekly/science/archive/060513/science6.htm At a computer near you, http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/news/story.html?id=40ac43e1-0507-491c-9228-cf3b13be6dad 'Mommy makeover' book draws fire from feminists, http://www.thestar.com/article/448426 What we need is an f-word revolution, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/12/opinion/12colllins.html?incamp=article_popular Op-Ed Columnist: A Virginal Goth Girl, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316580,00.html Wal-Mart Yanks Pink 'Credit Card' Panties Off Racks, http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/story.html?id=10ce7896-d4f5-4e86-9330-89953eacca7b The 'Online estrogen revolution', and many more, found from a simple Google news search. She has attracted the attention of notable critics http://glennsacks.com/blog/index.php?tag=jessica-valenti Glenn Sacks and http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=YWIyZjVlMDAzNjVjOWNhM2VjOWUwZWIxMzA0YjViY2E= the National Review Online.  She has had speaking engagements at various colleges and universities - http://www.drury.edu/multinl/story.cfm?ID=22069&NLID=369 Lecture at Drury University, http://www.mnsu.edu/news/read/?id=old-1225459912&paper=topstories Carol Ortman Perkins Lectureship: Jessica Valenti, http://my.simmons.edu/archives/2007/04/jessica_valenti.shtml Lecture at Simmons College, and http://www.alma.edu/news/remick_heritage/events/mar#m3 keynote speaker for the College's 2009 Women's Month celebrations, and others.  She's been profiled in http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/01/nyregion/01bigcity.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion the New York Times and http://gothamist.com/2006/05/15/jessica_valenti_1.php The Gothamist.  And I think that all of the various interviews she's done about her books also help to prove notability - I think that saying that she isn't the subject of these interviews is kind of splitting hairs
