Tbf she was an alien-worshipping cultist (cult wasn't technically founded at the time, but she had the mindset of a cultist)

She sorta was the cult leader, iirc the aliens didn’t understand humans and trusted her organisation to decide how to get things done (at least until they finally realise how humans actually work and decide to just shut it all down), so the cult was probably her idea

I wouldn't call three body obscure

You'd be surprised. I've got some friends who read all the time, including (but not exclusively) sci-fi, and they had never heard of it
