The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
每一位受害者,不是數字、不是炮灰、不是濫造新聞的基礎素材、不是凶殺事件的配角、不是某一群體的代錶,而同你我一樣,是平凡生存著的、活生生的人。
評分目前為止是今年看過的書裏最震撼的一本瞭 正如作者指齣的,一次次聚焦在凶手本人,甚至誇張化、美化、英雄化他,會加強人們對固有道德觀念的認同,甚至在這個基礎上閤理化施暴者的行為。這五位女性的悲劇是很多因素導緻的,她們身上有維多利亞時代女性的共性也有她們自己的獨特性,她們不是簡單的被害名單上的幾個名字,她們是有喜怒哀樂活生生的人,她們不應該被這樣對待,她們值得被尊重
評分希望有一天女性不再是男性故事的背景、受害者更不要成為加害者的背景……希望更多人能看清,在男權社會,女性無法選擇自己是不是妓女……

評分如標題和簡介所說,這本不是關於JTR的,是關於JTR所謂的“canonical five”五個受害人的。詳細描寫瞭受害人在當時社會環境下因為種種原因失去“身份”不得不流入白教堂地區,並且在死亡後又被剝奪瞭聲音和自我。讓我想起之前沒看完的那本關於JTR的書,如果你不想成為ripperology的一部分,寫這樣的書纔是應該的吧。另外作者指齣實際上五人之中隻有兩個能肯定是妓女,其中一個已經改行瞭,其他三人完全沒有證據支持,這樣JTR的受害者特徵需要推翻重建瞭吧。
