Probably Mata Hari - who was one of the most incompetent spies as well. Not many famous female spies. Edith Cavell was shot as a spy, but whether she was or not is another matter. Probably the most famous British one who really did spy (against the Dutch) was Aphra Behn - who was also a playwright when women didn't do that either! May 02 04, 1:51 PM

Around these parts, Belle Boyd is well known, but not what I'd call the most famous. She was certainly more competent than Mata Hari, though. http://www.civilwarhome.com/belleboyd.htm May 02 04, 9:38 PM
