63. Polly Nichols - The Ripper's First Victim

Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly to friends, family and the law,
was the first canonical victim of the serial killer known as Jack
the Ripper. One of many women who would lose their lives in
Whitechapel, London, whose existence is known only because she
was viciously murdered, it's about time we asked who was Polly
and how did she end up slain on the streets of Whitechapel? What
circumstances led her here and why oh why was Polly labelled a
prostitute?


orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard
of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging
accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of
feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.
