This is a very good article, and it humanizes the victim, making readers aware that she was something other than just a drunken streetwalker.

This is the 136th anniversary of the first Jack the Ripper murder: I Googled it and didn't get a single recent hit. Does this mean that people have finally lost interest?

I Googled "Polly Nichols, Jack the Ripper" and the most recent hit was dated November 2023. After so many years, maybe people are beginning to realize that identifying the Ripper is an exercise in futility and they've just given up.

I should probably be embarrassed to admit this, but I think that these articles by Graveyardbride are the only Jack the Ripper articles that I've ever read from beginning to end, because they're more about the poor women victims than the killer. They give you a "feel" for what it was like in Whitechapel back then. We went on the Jack the Ripper Tour when we were in London, but even on the tour, it was hard to imagine what it was like in 1888.
