In our final episode on Jill the Ripper, we examine perhaps one of the more difficult texts, The Michaelmas Girls, to discuss Jill the Ripper’s violence. In this episode, an unofficial detective figure suspects Mary Jane Kelly of participating in the murders. Content note: This novel discusses some deeply upsetting themes about queerness in addition to the already upsetting narrative of the murders. Special thanks to voice actors Jeremy, Dana, and Ross.

In this episode, Gracie leads you through the cinematic masterpiece Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde, which combines Jill the Ripper with another famous culture-text, Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. We talk about the intertextual nature of the Jack the Ripper myth, the “improper feminine,” and the queer potential of this film.Works Cited can be found hereAudio Credits:Theme Music:Victor_Natas.
