The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

A tragic story of much more than their murders. It speaks to the harsh reality of life for women in the 19C where having no safety, security and stability within the family home, it quickly devolves into poverty , homelessness and for many, turning to prostitution. Rejected by society,  sometimes by family, these women ended up vulnerable to addiction, abuse and ultimately their death.
