Having seduced a number of the most powerful men in Europe, she was accused of spying for both Allied and Central Powers during the First World War. Mata Hari's biography tells a different story. From her remarkable transformation from a captain's wife and mother in the Dutch East Indies to the most celebrated stage presence in Europe, Mata Hari fought for what she believed in. Yet what she believed in was neither France's independence, nor Germany's superiority, but her own personal quest for luxury, adventure, and love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInside you will read about.✓ A Wife and Mother\u003cbr\u003e✓ The Night of Horror\u003cbr\u003e✓ Code Name H21\u003cbr\u003e✓ Becoming a Spy\u003cbr\u003e✓ The Trial and Execution of Mata Hari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd much more\u0026gt;\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49851935752465,"sku":"CIN1795807830G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51051858100497,"sku":"NIN9781795807838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51289959039249,"sku":"GOR013594309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52469982593297,"sku":"GOR014533088","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1795807830.jpg?v=1751217027"},{"product_id":"amelia-earhart-book-hourly-history-9781086400458","title":"Amelia Earhart","description":"Amelia EarhartAmelia Earhart was a legend-but perhaps an unlikely one at that. You see, Amelia Earhart was not always the dashing heroine that most of us associate with her name. She began life as a rather shy girl, who often found herself having to hide from her troubled upbringing. As her family life spiraled out of control, Amelia Earhart was forced to move from state to state, town to town, never getting the chance to put down roots. The high school she graduated from was one of many she attended, and a caption by her photo for that semester's yearbook seems to have said it all. It read, the girl in brown who walks alone. But even as her peers scoffed at the girl in brown slacks who walked a lonely path, Amelia Earhart was charting a course for a tremendous destiny.

But while these two years were a significant part of her life, she was also much more. She was a daughter and sister who consternated her family by refusing to accept the role Victorian society assigned her. Later, she completed groundbreaking work in the fields of public health and statistics and wielded her vast influence to affect important reforms.
