The Women Who Were the Rippers?
In the nineteenth century, poor women didn't have access to education in the way that people of wealth had it. Women couldn't actually make careers for themselves in the professions. It was believed that a woman's only role in society was to be a mother,. She wasn't a bread winner, she couldn't have a life of her own. If something went terribly wrong in a woman's life and she didn't have a man to support her, she had no way of earning an income.
