Summary
For decades, Mata Hari has been remembered as history’s most dangerously seductive spy - but the reality of her life tells a different story. In part one of this two-part episode, we look at who Mata Hari actually was: a woman born into instability and loss who reinvented herself into a global sensation. As her rise to fame collided with a world sliding into war, Mata Hari’s beauty, autonomy, and visibility placed her in the crosshairs of a growing spy panic - setting the stage for how she would become known as the Original Sexy Spy™.
