That is a long story (Elisabeth Stride)
My name was Elisabeth Stride, but I was called Long-Liz in the street. The gentleman who later became known as Jack the Ripper, murdered me in Whitechapel. He didn't mutilate me like an animal, but I couldn't have known that. He left me like trash in the street anyway. In reality I was Elisabeth Gustafsdotter, a peasant woman from Sweden. How I ended up living in Spitalfields, as a drunk whore in the middle of the filth, is a long story, which would have been forgotten long ago without Jack the Ripper. Poet's Note. Elizabeth Gustafsdotter, later Elisabeth Stride, was one of Jack the Ripper's victims.
