THE MULTI AWARD-WINNING #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER___'An angry and important work of historical detection, calling time on the misogyny that has fed the Ripper myth. Powerful and shaming.' GUARDIAN___Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers.What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888.Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women.Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.___'Devastatingly good.

Let me start by acknowledging how much I have been looking forward to reading this book. I have been studying the Whitechapel murders for years and have had a particular yearning for a full-length biography of the canonical five. This book was heavily touted as a chance to "rehabilitate" the victims from their century-plus old reputation as merely debauched prostitutes. The author promised to not dwell on their deaths or make assumptions of the murderer. So imagine my disappointment when on page 13 of the introduction she not only makes her own assumption of the killer's m.o., but a stupid, wholly inconceivable one at that. She states that the police "failed to conclude the obvious- the Ripper targeted women while they slept". She bases this on cororner's reports that their throats were cut in a reclining position and no screams were heard. Any reader of Ripperology knows that they were first subdued by manual strangulation before being lowered to the ground. There is medical evidence of this in the cororner's reports yet she chooses to ignore it to push her theory that all 5 victims decided to walk miles from their known doss houses to just drop to the ground for sleep, where they were found and murdered. She neglects to mention the well known facts that the patrolling policemen report strolling up those streets and seeing nothing, nobody. Then minutes later coming across the bodies. Also, there multiple witness statements that attest to seeing most of the victims with a man- while they were awake and upright- just minutes before their bodies were discovered....I believe the author is trying too hard to erase the fact that these unfortunate women were resorting to prostitution. I would have appreciated it if she would have expressed the point that the women should not be vilified for resorting to prostitution as a means of survival, and instead vilify the conditions that led her to that in the first place.
