Putting the victims of Jack the Ripper front and centre makes for a compelling and enraging book. The women were dismissed as ‘only’ prostitutes even though for the majority of them, there is no evidence to support this conclusion. They were wives, mothers and daughters, but they were also complex human beings in their own right, and none of them deserved their fate.

Loved the podcast based on this book (Bad Women) more than the book itself. Definitely had more details and extensive/thorough research, but found the podcast super informative and more engaging

The stories of these women are unfortunately incomplete, but when the author turns to conjecture she tells you what it is. Anything stated as fact has a reference, and overall you still get a much better picture of their lives than I have found anywhere else. The gold star of this book for me was the conclusion. Very eye-opening and moving.
