Was a spy for the United States from 1917-1923 in Russia and Japan
relaying information on Bolshevik economic strengths (and weakness) and
supplied American political prisoners in Russia with food. She was
arrested by Russian authorities and spent time in prison in from
1919-1922 but was set free in exchange for food and aid after the
Russian economy collapsed. She was secretly arrested again in 1923 but
was set free days before her trial, which likely would have resulted in
her death, after an American aid worker recognised her.
