Description
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
A groundbreaking narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, giving these women back their stories. The victims of the infamous 1888 murders were never identified, but their stories have been lost to history. This devastating book sheds new light on the lives of Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane, and challenges the prevailing Ripper myth.
With deeply researched and moving prose, Rubenhold brings to life the women who were brutally murdered by the same killer, but whose stories have been overshadowed by the infamous name created for him. A powerful and important work of historical detection, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in true crime and the history of women's lives.
