Catherine Courage. Roman. (Nouveau tirage.) - Paris: Grasset (1991). 272 S. 8°
Avec Maria Vandamme (qui obtint le prix Interallié en 1983), Jacques Duquesne brossait une fresque inoubliable de la vie ouvrière dans le Nord, au temps du Second Empire et de la Commune. Catherine Courage est la fille de Maria. En 1891, pendant la répression d'une grève, un enfant touché par balle meurt dans ses bras. Alors Catherine décide de devenir médecin. Défi presque impossible qu'elle relèvera pourtant, aimée et parfois aidée par des hommes, Paul, le journaliste, puis Jérôme. Du Nord à Paris, sa vie traverse taudis et salons, salles de rédaction et hôpitaux, incarnant à la fois le combat pour l'émancipation féminine et les luttes ouvrières dans la France du début du siècle. Jacques Duquesne, lui-même enfant du Nord, nous raconte cette histoire avec le souffle et l'émotion d'un romancier puissant ; dans la tradition de Zola.
Catherine Courage
Parce qu'un jour de printemps un enfant est mort dans ses bras, le destin de Catherine, la fille de Maria Vandamme, a basculé : elle a décidé de devenir médecin. Mais, dans le monde de 1891, une telle ambition est folie pour une femme : toutes les portes, ou presque, sont closes. Catherine va les ouvrir une à une, se lancer dans les aventures les plus risquées avec obstination, générosité et courage, tout comme sa mère, vingt-cinq ans plus tôt. Aimée et désirée d'abord par Paul, un jeune journaliste qui, pour autant, ne comprend guère son ambition, puis par Jérôme qui, lui, saura l'aider, encouragée autant que détestée par son entourage, elle traverse, depuis le Nord jusqu'à Paris, les salons et les taudis, les salles de rédaction et celles des hôpitaux. Et trouve enfin le succès et l'amour. Catherine Courage complète la trilogie commencée avec Maria Vandamme et Alice Van Meulen.

Courage in the Classroom: LGBT teachers share their stories
We are all at our most effective when we can be ourselves at work, but more than half of LGBT teachers hide their sexual identity within their school workplace. For LGBT teachers, vigilance, concealment and assimilation, take a great deal of energy, on top of what is already a very demanding job. This book is essential reading for any LGBT teacher aspiring to succeed as their authentic self. It will also be of interest to Headteachers and other education leaders seeking to make their schools safe and inclusive workplaces for their LGBT staff and LGBT families. Based around the inspirational work of the Courageous Leaders programme, this book turns on its head the notion that it can be difficult to be a leader in school and be LGBT. Through personal testimonies, advice and a rousing call to arms, this book shows how LGBT School Leaders are often amongst the most inclusive, creative, adaptable and intuitive colleagues, when they are able to flourish and be their authentic selves.

The Probable Future
When the women in the Sparrow family reach thirteen, they develop a unique ability. In young Stella's case, the gift, which is both a blessing and a curse, is the ability to see a person's probable future. Stella foresees a gruesome murder, and tells her charming, feckless father about it, but it is too late - the murder has already been committed and suspicion falls on him. Hoffman unlocks the caskets of family life and the secret history of a community in this magical story about young love and old love, about making choices - usually the wrong ones - about foresight and consequences, all suffused with the haunting scent of roses and wisteria, and the hum of bees on a summer evening.
The Concept of Woman
A comprehensive account of the concept of woman in Western thought, from ancient Greece, through the Middle Ages, to today In her sweeping, three-volume study, Sister Prudence Allen examined how women and men have been defined in relation to one another scientifically, philosophically, and theologically. Now synthesized for students, The Concept of Woman is the ideal textbook for classes on gender in Catholic thought. Allen surveys Greek philosophers, medieval saints, and modern thinkers to trace the development of integral gender complementarity. This doctrine—a living idea according to the criteria of John Henry Newman—affirms the equal dignity of men and women and the synergetic relationship between them. Allen pays special attention to John Paul II’s contributions to this holistic idea of gender. Readers will gain valuable context for current debates over womanhood and come to a greater appreciation of human personhood.
