	S. C. Lomax: Ruth Ellis
		Ruth Ellis is arguably known as much for the image created for her by journalists and writers as she is known for being the last woman to be hanged in Britain.
		The devastating effect of Ellis’ execution on her family, with the fear of being intimidated by members of the public, the ordeal of having to identify the executed woman’s misshapen body and the suicide of Ellis’ son as a result of his grief, can hardly fail to move the reader.
		The previously unquestioned assumption that Ellis pulled the trigger of the gun which ended Blakely’s life has now had doubt cast upon it, but what is certain is that fifty years after Ellis took to the gallows the disquiet and controversy surrounding her death will continue to exist for many years to come.
