Five devastating human stories and a dark and moving portrait of Victorian London--the untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper Polly, Annie, Elisabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden, and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffeehouses, lived on country estates; they breathed ink dust from printing presses and escaped human traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, revealing a world not just of Dickens and Queen Victoria, but of poverty, homelessness, and rampant misogyny. They died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time--but their greatest misfortune was to be born women.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful, sturdy and comfortable!
I am very satisfied with this bag! I honestly thought that because the price was so low that it would be more of a lightweight beach bag, however, it is very sturdy and holds so many things. The straps are very thick and comfortable. There are a few pockets inside zippered pockets of some side pockets and a front zipper pocket. I get so many compliments on this bag. Two of my friends actually bought the same bag! I honestly want to buy another one just in case somewhere down the road something ever happens to this one because I am obsessed with it. I use it every day for work is very easy to clean as well. It’s almost like a neoprene type of fabric so it wipes off very easily. I highly recommend this product.

Nice little bag. Very well made. Beautiful shade of red. Perfect size for a night on the town. Dressy, yet casual. Like the adjustable straps too.

Works great for me
Color: 06 - Black
I love the size of this purse. Not too big but big enough to hold what I need. The compartment for credits cards and drivers license works better than carrying a wallet. I'm really happy I purchased this. Works better than any designer bag and for a lots less money.
