The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
by Hallie Rubenhold
This book is very well researched, and I really enjoyed it even though it often made me feel sad. The five women were all different and had different life stories, but they all were victims of not just Jack the Ripper but also of the systemic misogyny of the Victorian times. It's refreshing to see a narrative that goes beyond mere speculation about the killer's identity and instead honours the forgotten victims. It was also interesting to learn about day to day experiences of ordinary people from that era.
