This is #7 of a series. There was no six, because there were two #4s. Tonight’s Mata Hari’s are mostly by the photographer Paul Boyer. I may have posted a couple of these before, but I don’t get tired of looking at them so why should you?
Her real name, more or less, was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle MacLeod. Her friends called her Grietje. Odds are about a million to one that you only know her as Mata Hari, and that’s OK.
She was a courtesan and an exotic dancer and a spy. She led an exotic but uniquely tragic life. The Wiki site readordie has a really good page on her Wiki.
