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

5.0

This is a book about the treatment and views of women in society that continue even today. Just the name Jack the Ripper connotes killing prostitutes, but did anyone even really bother to care about these women or what lead them to their situations. This book truly makes me reflect on how we characterize women and men because of their status, their race, their gender, their religion or other ways to view people which is often based on a false premise. We should allow each person to tell us who they are and not make dangerous or false assumptions.
