"Just prostitutes." The media has always been keen to tell people that the people killed by "Jack the Ripper" were all prostitutes. In this serial murder case, the killer became the focus of the story, and even became the target of people's pursuit for a time. The victimized women are not only ignored by the media and the public, but also misrepresented.
By collecting a large number of historical files, court materials, witness testimonies, and combining it with the background of the times, Halle Rubenhold restored the full and tragic lives of the five victimized women for readers. Those killed by "Jack the Ripper" were by no means all prostitutes, "they were daughters, wives, mothers, sisters and lovers", and more importantly, "they were human beings". They were killed not because they were immoral or immoral, but because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their greatest misfortune may be that they were born as girls.
