Description

Here’s a preview of Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper. Over a single week in February 1942, a depraved serial killer stalked London’s dark and WWII bomb-ravaged streets, hunting for victims in the city’s bars and clubs. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten. Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, season 2 of Hallie Ruben hold’s Bad Women reconstructs the lives of the women The Blackout Ripper brutally attacked and murdered and examines why the war years proved to be perilous for so many women.
