History Lessons for Misanthropes

71 - Mata Hari


Listen Later

In this episode we discuss the life of Mata Hari, a popular dancer in Europe in the first decade of the twentieth century. We tell the story of how a woman from the Netherlands pretended to be a dance from Java to gain popularity in the arts community, and how her string of international romances led her to be recruited as a spy in the First World War, ultimately leading to her demise.
