The Five: The untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper - by Hallie Rubenhold
In this fascinating book the author researches the lives of Jack the Ripper's five victims. She does so to reframe the whole narrative: why are libraries written by the criminal, but nothing about the women who died? Why is there so much misinformation about who they were and how they lived?
Surprisingly detailed and touching book.
