The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold

5.0

„when a woman steps out of line and contravenes the feminine norm, whether in social media or in the victorian street, the is a tacit understanding that someone must put her back in her place.

labeling the victims as „just prostitutes“ permits those writing about Polly, annie, elizabeth, kate and mary jane even today to continue to disparage, specialize and dehumanize them; to continue to reinritte the valeted of madonna/whore.“
