The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie RubenholdMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I listened to this audiobook while assembling my new bookshelves, so it was a very introspective process.
It was important for me to learn about these women´s lives to understand how life was difficult for women back in Victorian times. The book sounds very well researched and the author is cautious to use words like "likely" and "probably" when making assumptions about their decisions.
The author is absolutely right when she suggests us - as a society - to stop idolizing the murderer and remember the victims... I think this kind of maturity has still a long way to go in today´s mentalities.
