1. The Five
"The Five" is a historical non-fiction book that delves into the lives of the five women who were infamously murdered by Jack the Ripper in the East End of London in 1888. The work challenges the long-standing myth that the victims were all prostitutes, instead painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities faced by women in Victorian England. Through meticulous research, the book reconstructs their personal histories, exploring their backgrounds, the societal conditions that contributed to their unfortunate fates, and the misogyny that has overshadowed their stories. The narrative serves as both a poignant tribute to these women and a critical examination of the historical narratives that have marginalized them.
