{"product_id":"the-hidden-lives-of-jack-the-rippers-victims-9781399022057","title":"The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims","description":"Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly are inextricably linked in history. Their names might not be instantly recognisable, and the identity of their murderer may have eluded detectives and historians throughout the years, but there is no mistaking the infamy of Jack the Ripper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor nine weeks during the autumn of 1888, the Whitechapel Murderer brought terror to London's East End, slashing women's throats and disembowelling them. London's most famous serial killer has been pored over time and again, yet his victims have been sorely neglected, reduced to the simple label: prostitute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lives of these five women are rags-to-riches-to-rags stories of the most tragic kind. There was a time in each of their lives when these poor women had a job, money, a home and a family. Hardworking, determined and fiercely independent individuals, it was bad luck, or a wrong turn here or there, that left them wretched and destitute. Ignored by the press and overlooked by historians, it is time their stories were told.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399022057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Robert Hume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51990855024821,"sku":"9781399022057","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0003c8f6-fa0f-44b4-8afc-0d1d51f1ab5f.jpg?v=1762838050","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hidden-lives-of-jack-the-rippers-victims-9781399022057","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
