Why we should focus on Jack the Ripper's victims, and not him

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Hallie Rubenhold’s new book focuses on the lives of Mary Jane Kelly, Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes. The Five is about the women who were murdered by Jack the Ripper, and not about him. She's spent time in the archives doing original research and joined Jane Garvey on BBC Radio 4's Woman's hour to discuss why it’s time we looked at their stories.
