Reframing the Victims of Jack the Ripper

See this content in the original post

In over a century’s worth of investigation into the unsolved murders attributed to the unknown killer called “Jack the Ripper,” little real attention has been paid to the five canonical victims--they’ve been treated as objects for dissection, not human beings with full lives.

 Author and historian Hallie Rubenhold, who published The Five in 2019 and is releasing the podcast Bad Women: The Ripper Retold with Pushkin, aims to change that narrative, and question why we’ve been so comfortable with it, and its implications, all along.
