'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.
