Othe great quotes:
Shein anyone???- "Poor women's labor was cheap because poor women were considered expendable..."
One women, Elisabeth, was reported to police as a sex worker so she had to weekly strip and have her body searched for STIs along with other women, in public, and in the cold. "For a young women who had been raised in a religious community... the indignity of this experience would have been shocking. However, as Elisabeth was pregnant with a illegitimate child, is is likely that she, like so many women of her era, would have internalized the punishment as a justifiable one. Society and the church would have her believe she sinned against her parents, her community, herself, and God." Barf.

Now, we know their stories, their pasts, their lives. They were more than victims. They were mothers, daughters, sisters, lovers. They were women. They were - and will forever be - remembered for who they were and not the man who murdered them.
