Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride (née Gustafsdotter; 27 November 1843 – 30 September 1888) is believed to have been a victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer called Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated several women in the Whitechapel area of London from late August to early November 1888.Stride was nicknamed "Long Liz".
Several explanations have been given for this pseudonym; some believe it came from her married surname "Stride" because a stride is a long step, while others believe it was either because of her height, or the shape of her face.
At the time of her death, Stride resided in a common lodging-house at 32 Flower and Dean Street, Spitalfields, within what was then a notorious criminal rookery.
