THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2019 '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. WINNER OF THE GOODREADS HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 PRAISE FOR THE FIVE 'Gripping' New York Times 'Speaks with an urgency and passion to our own times' STIG ABELL, Chair of Baillie Gifford Prize 'At last, the Ripper's victims get a voice...

This book wasn�t what I thought it would be. I am not really sure what I thought it would be. 🤷����. It was very slow to me. Some parts were interesting and then others I struggled to get through. I am not sure that I would recommend this book.
