Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols is known as the first victim of the notorious serial killer " Jack the Ripper" who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London during the late summer and fall of 1888. In the early morning of Friday, August 31, 1888, Nichols' body was discovered on the ground before a gated stable entrance on Whitechapel's Buck's Row , a dimly lit street a few blocks from the London Hospital. She had suffered a deep slash to her throat and severe cuts to her abdomen and uterus.

The daughter of a locksmith, she was born in London in 1845 and married William Nichols, a printer's machinist, in 1864. They had five children before their marriage broke up in 1880. Polly spent her remaining years in workhouses and boarding houses, living off her meager earnings as a prostitute.
