Women at the fringes: the lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper
Listen now
Description
In this podcast for Our City Together we're focusing on the women killed by 'the unnamed murderer' as we prefer to call the killer commonly known as Jack the Ripper.  Although these murders are linked with Whitechapel, the women did not come from Whitechapel and had full lives before their untimely ends.  Laura Jorgensen, Rector of St Botolph without Aldgate talks about Catherine Eddowes, killed in Mitre Square, and Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's Fleet Street, reflects on the life of Polly Nicholls who was born in her parish.  We also hear from Josephine Knowles from Door of Hope, a project of Beyond the Streets, a charity working with women involved in prostitution on the City fringe.
