内容简介
此书终结了喂养开膛手神话的厌女症。
──《卫报》
“不过是妓女”，一直以来，媒体热衷于告诉人们，被“开膛手杰克”杀害的人都是妓女，且在这起连环杀人案件中，杀手成了被着力讲述的对象，甚至一度成了人们追捧的对象。而受害的女性不仅被媒体和大众忽略，更是被歪曲。
通过搜罗大量的历史档案、庭审材料、证人证词，结合当时的时代背景，哈莉·鲁本霍德为读者还原了5位受害女性丰满而悲苦的一生。被“开膛手杰克”杀害的绝非都是妓女，“她们是女儿、妻子、母亲、姐妹和爱人”，更重要的是，“她们是人”。她们之所以被杀害，并非因为不检点、道德有污，而是因为她们在错误的时间出现在错误的地方。她们最大的不幸，可能是生而为女。

Content introduction
This book ends the misogyny that feeds the myth of the Ripper.
-- The Guardian
"Just prostitutes", the media has long been keen to tell people that the people killed by "Jack the Ripper" are prostitutes, and in this serial killing case, the killer has become the object of focus, and even became the object of people. The victims are not only ignored by the media and the public, but also distorted.
Through a large number of historical archives, trial materials, witness testimony, combined with the context of the time, Harley Rubenhold for readers to restore the full and tragic lives of five women victims. The victims of "Jack the Ripper" were not all prostitutes, "they were daughters, wives, mothers, sisters and lovers," but more importantly, "they were human beings." They were killed not because they were indiscreet or immoral, but because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps their greatest misfortune was to be born female.
