## Resource

Over her decade-long dancing career, Mata Hari redefined what it meant to be an erotic performer. She danced for kings, escorted aristocrats, and basked in her hard-earned wealth. But with WWI quickly setting the world ablaze, she found herself stepping into a dangerous new role - as a spy.  In part 2 of our exploration into Mata Hari’s life and legacy, she’s courted by competing intelligence agencies, with each trying to turn her skills against the other. And with over 1,000,000 francs on the line, Mata Hari seizes her opportunity. But when a single intercepted telegram changes everything, she must reckon with a new type of challenge: when the same men who built her up decide to burn her down.  Story starts: 02:27 🔮 Check out Anathema on Instagram 💃 View Mata Hari’s scrapbooks at the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, where Gina & Kathryn serve up your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities – all with a side of ice cream! 🍦Flavor of the Month: Chocolate & berries 💀Topic of the Month: Femme fatales   🖤 Join our Patreon for bonus content, shoutouts, and exclusive treats!
