This week, Stauney delves into the story of Mata Hari, a Dutch woman who rose to fame as a captivating exotic dancer and later became a prominent courtesan in France, only to be coerced into espionage during World War I. Stauney and Sadie discuss her tumultuous life, her romantic struggles, her remarkable career, and the tragic misrepresentation that ultimately led to her execution by firing squad, unfairly scapegoated for France's wartime setbacks. With her tale often misunderstood, it's a poignant opportunity to celebrate a woman of resilience and dignity amidst profound adversity.
