Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, 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 coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed
ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What
they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. Their murderer
was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has
become far more famous than any of these five women.
Now, in
this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold
finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their
stories.
