On This Date in Minnesota History: November 22
November 22, 1910 – “Amy Elizabeth
Thorpe, a Minnesota-born British spy known as ‘Cynthia’ was born in Minneapolis
[on this date]. She has been described as World War II's ‘Mata Hari.’ Family
and friends called her Betty. William Stephenson, who ran Great Britain’s World
War II intelligence activities in the Western Hemisphere, would one day give
her a code name—‘Cynthia.’ She reputedly was one of the most successful spies
in history.”
