The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Miscast in the media for nearly 130 years, the victims of Jack the Ripper finally get their full stories told in this eye-opening and chilling reminder that life for middle-class women in Victorian London could be full of social pitfalls and peril.
The "canonical five" women murdered by Jack the Ripper have always been dismissed as society's waste, their stories passed down to us wrapped in a package of Victorian assumptions and prejudice. But social historian Hallie Rubenhold sets the record straight in The Five. In reality, only two of the victims were prostitutes, and Rubenhold has uncovered entirely new research about them all--in some cases, material no one has ever seen before.
The Five tells for the first time the true stories of these fascinating women. It delves into the Victorian experience of poverty, homelessness, and alcoholism, but also motherhood, childbirth, sexuality, child-rearing, work, and marriage, all against the fascinating, dark, and quickly changing backdrop of nineteenth-century London. From rural Sweden to the wedding of Queen Victoria, from the London of Charles Dickens to the factories of the Industrial Revolution and the high-class brothels of the West End, these women were not just victims but witnesses to the vagaries and vicissitudes of the Victorian age.
希望有一天女性不再是男性故事的背景、受害者更不要成为加害者的背景……希望更多人能看清,在男权社会,女性无法选择自己是不是妓女……
评分如标题和简介所说,这本不是关于JTR的,是关于JTR所谓的“canonical five”五个受害人的。详细描写了受害人在当时社会环境下因为种种原因失去“身份”不得不流入白教堂地区,并且在死亡后又被剥夺了声音和自我。让我想起之前没看完的那本关于JTR的书,如果你不想成为ripperology的一部分,写这样的书才是应该的吧。另外作者指出实际上五人之中只有两个能肯定是妓女,其中一个已经改行了,其他三人完全没有证据支持,这样JTR的受害者特征需要推翻重建了吧。
评分每一位受害者,不是数字、不是炮灰、不是滥造新闻的基础素材、不是凶杀事件的配角、不是某一群体的代表,而同你我一样,是平凡生存着的、活生生的人。
