Evelyn McHale
Life is hard, so hard that its end seems like a release. But this end was not quite in a tub with a razor. By the public affirmation of her pain for all to see. For they did not see her before, but now everyone sees her.
Life Magazine caption:
At the bottom of the Empire State Building, the body of E. McHale reposes calmly in a grotesque bier, her falling body punched into the top of a car.
