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.
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.

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.
Catherine the Great
Catherine II of Russia was the most remarkable monarch of the eighteenth century. New York Times bestselling historian Ian Grey paints an illuminating portrait of an enigmatic woman of compelling charm and elegance. She had a prodigious appetite for work, great curiosity, and boundless ambition and vanity, and she was notorious for the number of her lovers. Her prodigal expenditures and patronage of the arts made her reign an era of splendor while her foreign policy and conquests carried Russian power and prestige to new heights. She cast a spell over most of her contemporaries in Russia and in Western Europe, and the spell has lingered. Here, in this book, is the dramatic story of an obscure German princess, without beauty or special advantage, but with courage, charisma, and determination, who became one of the arbiters of the affairs of Europe and renowned in history.
