She didn't burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn't held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don't even remember what she did.

I'd say remembering the message she intended to send is far more important than remembering what exactly she did to the picture.
