In the autumn of 1888, terror gripped the streets of Whitechapel. The brutal murders of five women-attributed to the elusive figure known as Jack the Ripper-became one of history's most infamous unsolved crimes. But behind the headlines and the myth of the killer were real women, abandoned by society, trapped in poverty, and left to survive in the most desperate of circumstances.The Abandoned: Victims of Jack the Ripper is a groundbreaking exploration of the lives of these women and the brutal world they inhabited. Through in-depth research, historical accounts, and fresh perspectives, David Stephens sheds light on the dark underbelly of Victorian London-a city teeming with crime, corruption, and despair.Who were the landlords and criminals who controlled the streets where the murders occurred? How did the police fail to stop the Ripper? And could the key to understanding these killings lie not with the murderer, but with the victims themselves?A compelling, atmospheric, and chilling journey into the heart of the Ripper mystery, The Abandoned strips away the myth and focuses on the forgotten-the women who lost their lives and the society that allowed it to happen.History remembers the killer. It's time to remember the victims.
