16. She was still an elite in that organization, she was a founder's daughter.

She is one of the few who would be granted some autonomy and would be allowed to go to university. She was used to put a "normal" face - allowed her own "hobbies" and some pleasures so long as she followed the rules. She was groomed to one of her cult's elite, a professional as well as s wife, and mother.
She was still introduced to and given to a powerful cult member as a wife and give him children, like all the women recruited or born into the cult. But unlike most of the other women in that cult, she was given help to raise her kids and keep house as an executive or executive's spouse would, to retain her loyalty and high profile propaganda status.

In my observation, she is a groomed creature. Smart and capable enough to get a pHD and teach law at a prestigious university, but simple enough to emotionally manipulate to do "her duty" for everything she was granted in her life. She has no mercy, no empathy for anything outside her cult cage. She is an extension of her father's religion and husband' ambition.
