Only just discovered this social critic and feminist, but I have to say, I don't think she's going to be inspiring to me. So far, I hear lots of 'scratchy' ad-hominem rejections of post-structuralism, especially Foucault and Butler, saying they are 'too abstract'. Also, she said the French can keep post-structuralism because the US hasn't had the same literary crisis, which sounded very exceptionalist to me and anyone who reduces post-structuralism to literary theory, is giving you a red-herring.

Milo Yianopolous approves of her 'anti-PC' take on things and 'anti-Hillary' stuff too.
