Despite never having met, Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary-Jane are all well-known for the same thing. They travelled from Wales, Sweden, Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, and Wolverhampton. They lived on rural estates, opened coffee shops, composed songs, inhaled ink dust from printing presses, and managed to get away from human traffickers.
What united them was the year of their homicides—1888.
Although the person who killed them was never found, the moniker the media gave him has gone on to become much more well-known than any of these five ladies.
The historian Hallie Rubenhold finally gives these ladies back their story in this heartbreaking account of five lives.
