It could be because she's been outspoken about the issues surrounding women in tech https://twitter.com/jessfraz . She's dealt with workplace inequality as has been described as going on at Uber https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/19/business/uber-sexual-hara... . That isn't to say her portfolio isn't impressive enough on its own.

Oh, you mean why was it submitted & upvoted? Frankly, I never know why any particular story takes off whereas others do not. E.g., First Steve Yegge blog post in 5 years didn't even make 1st page of HN! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12979108)
Guess you'd have to ask everyone who up-voted why they did.
