Minimalism: Film Discussion

Book Group Reads: The Five

by Hallie Rubenhold

Thursday, October 15, 7:00-8:00 pm
The Five tells the stories of five women who had nothing in common but the year of their murders--1888--and the person alledgedly responsible for them, never identified, but made famous by the press. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to report that Jack the Ripper preyed on prostitutes. Historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered otherwise and strives to tell the real stories of poverty, homelessness, and rampant misogyny.
This title is available from the library’s collection and also in eBook and audiobook formats through the hoopla Digital platform. Registration is required for all participants to get information about the ZOOM meet up. For ages 16+.
