Hallie Rubenhold
Hallie Rubenhold (born 1971) is an American-born British historian and author. Her work specializes in 18th and 19th century social history and women's history. Her 2019 book ''
The Five'', about the lives of the women murdered by
Jack the Ripper, was shortlisted for the
Wolfson History Prize and won the
Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-fiction. Rubenhold's focus on the victims of murder (frequently women), rather than on the identity or the acts of the perpetrator, has been credited with changing attitudes to the proper commemoration of such crimes and to the appeal and function of the
true crime genre.
