Traces the narrative’s construction by historicizing the crimes in the political and social tensions of 1888, focusing on class, gender, and ethnic relations. Argues that journalistic portrayals of “Outcast London,” middle-class anxieties about urban degeneration, and conflicts over public order shaped the meaning of the murders and intensified women’s sense of vulnerability.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/jack-the-ripper-and-the-myth-of-male-violence/634085/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/jack-the-ripper-and-the-myth-of-male-violence/634085.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Marglet","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What

VIOLENCE\n\nJUDITH R.WALKOWITZ  \nThe hunt for Jack the Ripper—I remember that as well as I rememberanything—I don't know if he was in my time or whether it was onlytalked about.But the boys—horrible little brutes they were —theyused to say \"Look out,here comes Jack the Ripper\"if we were play-ing in the street some time—and we all used to run.Oh we wereproper little cowards.They always pictured him with a big leatherapron and a carving knife.  \n(Mrs.Bartholemew,born 1892,in Poplar,East London.Interviewedby Anna Davin,June 1973.)  \nThe daily paper is carefully kept out of my way,and no hint of theJack the Ripper murders reaches me at home.But the boys next doorare well advised of them...[and]...have their story ready.\"There's a man in a leather apron coming soon,to kill all the littlegirls in Tunbridge Wells.It's in the paper.\"  \nHe stands before me,vividly enough,that man with the leatherapron and the uplifted,blood-stained knife.I have not forgotten theBible story of King Herod's order to killall the babies of Bethlehem.Iscarcely ask myself if the boys are lying.It was true\"in the days ofHerod the king\"—and what happened once can happen again.Idelight the boys by running indoors screaming,begging Papa to takeme away at once from Tunbridge Wells;nor is my confidence fullyrestored when Papa and Mamma both insist that the story is sillynonsense,made up to frighten me...Mamma and Papa,thoughgenerally right,can be mistaken....  \n(Helen Corke,In Our Infancy:An Autobiography,Part 1,1882-1912.  \nCambridge:Cambridge University Press,1975.)  \nLike Helen Corke and Mrs.Bartholemew,most of us havegrown up in the shadow of Jack the Ripper.As the prototype ofdozens of filmic and fictional treatments and as the inspiration fornumerous real-life'\"heroes\"of crime,1 the Ripper has materially  \nFeminist Studies 8,no.3(Fall 1982).◎1982 by Judith R.Walkowitz.  \nPUNCH,OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.—SgPTBMBRR 29,1888.  \nTHE NEMESIS OF
