Companies such as Uber will continue these destructive behaviors until they face genuine consequences that impact their bottom line.
You have summarized a number of reasons why I would never ask anyone to volunteer to be the one to accomplish this.
This entire episode will hopefully shine some light on the true difficulties that need to be overcome to promote STEM diversity.

This could lead to genuine consequences, perhaps more than a lawsuit.
Anyway, we shouldn't even be talking about what she is doing, how about the evil actions of Uber?

Having a hard time recruiting is a serious consequence.

If this article catches public attention, Uber will attempt to bring these canons to bear anyway.

They will have less ammunition.
In a suit the defendant can paint the person bringing it as a money grabber (like the people did with the McDonalds hot coffee case.) Someone posting a blog has much less to gain personally, so you just look like a jackass if you try to paint them in a negative light unless they are actually a really bad person.
Writing this article (which was superb in its incredulous anger) is a better way to get closure IMO, but this should be her decision alone.
