Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod (née Zelle, 7 August 1876 – 15 October 1917), better known by the stage name Mata Hari (MAH-tə HAR-ee, Indonesian for 'sun', lit. 'eye of the day'), was a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during World War I. She was executed by firing squad in France. The idea of a beautiful exotic dancer using her powers of seduction as a spy made her name synonymous with the femme fatale. Her story has served as an inspiration for books, films, and other works.
