description: "Hallie Rubenhold is an American-born British popular 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. In 2025, her book, Story of a Murder; the wives, the mistress and Dr Crippen won a Clue Award for True Crime Book of the Year. Clue Awards seek to recognise \"excellence and responsible story telling in true crime\". \nRubenhold's focus on the victims of murder, 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."
