bthkly 's review for:
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
by Hallie Rubenhold
informative
sad
medium-paced
As a history teacher I sought out this book to help with subject knowledge surrounding the GCSE history course. I came away with a much more valuable reflection on the lives of women in the 19th century and the misconceptions we may hold about the past due to still present social attitudes. Opens your eyes to the reality of the case and refocuses attention on the people who should matter in the story of a killer - the victims.
