Forbes listed dooce® as a top 100 website for women and named Heather one of the 30 most influential women in media. She is a New York Times Best Selling Author with 1.5 million Twitter followers and an actively engaged audience. Not bad for a “mommy blogger.” But that title is a digital pigeonhole.
