A well-researched and engaging look at working-class women in victorian times, highly informative about the lives and realities of the victims and the humanizing storytelling they all deserved—great conclusion to tie into modernity.kshertz's review against another edition

I really really love the concept. The research done is amazing. These women were not victims and prostitutes. They were a product of their time and the patriarchy. But I felt the author loses the story in the insane amount of research and that made it hard to keep my interest and finish. I only really recommend if you’re very interested in the women and Jack the Ripper historically and love research.
