Dancer, adventurer, femme fatale and above all secret agent, intriguing and mysterious spy. Her name is Mata Hari. A character capable of throwing Europe into turmoil in the years between the Belle Epoque and the First World War. Margareta Geertruida Zelle, this is her real name, was born in Holland in 1876. As a young woman, after a marriage that ended badly, she moved to Paris. She worked as a model, a horsewoman and improvised as a dancer, taking advantage of the interest and success of exotic dances among the French public. And she became, at the beginning of the twentieth century, an international star, who made men all over Europe lose their heads.
