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. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, revealing a world not just of Dickens and Queen Victoria, but of poverty, homelessness, and rampant misogyny. They died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time-but their greatest misfortune was to be born a woman. 600 00 $a Jack, $c the Ripper. 600 07 $a Jack, $c the Ripper. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00319798 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Murder victims $z London $z London $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working class women $z London $z London $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Murder victims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029809 650 7 $a Working class women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180585 651 0 $a Whitechapel (London, England) $x History $y 19th century. 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 651 7 $a England $z Whitechapel. $z Whitechapel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01314474 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Brealey, Louise, $e narrator. 710 2 $a HighBridge Audio (Firm) 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 856 4 $3 RBMedia $u http://d2cv0ie6dlin9h.cloudfront.net/DD47822/DD47822_image_148x230.jpg 856 4 $3 recordedbooks.com $u https://www.recordedbooks.com/title-details/9781684573998 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013824.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20200505011624.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200307010731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D42C5F082DF611EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
