I am Catherine Jane is one woman's brave, determined, and often-painful journey of healing and redemption. Raped by a U.S. Navy sailor in Yokosuka, Jane Fisher, an Australian expatriate and mother of three, found herself fighting for justice in a society where the stigma of being a rape victim is seen as shameful and is often perceived as the victim's fault. Jane's confronting story reveals the personal struggles behind her single-minded search for the rapist and her unwavering resolve to get a fair judgment through the courts. "If you ever wondered why so many victims choose not to report rape or why so many people prefer to put the blame for crime on its victims, then you should read this book. Catherine's story will stop you in your tracks as you ponder how this could happen to an innocent person." - Michael O'Connell APM, Commissioner for Victims' Rights.

Just after the end of the War of 1812, when this country's frontier was the Mississippi River, 14-year-old Jane Fisher married the most powerful, most ruthless fur trader in Prairie du Chien, the western outpost of the American Fur Company. To Joseph Rolette's employees and the others who gossiped about her, she was Madame Joseph. Jane and the people who knew her were witnesses to the changes the fur trade brought to the lives of the settlers and the original inhabitants. The novel combines evidence from actual 19th century letters and court records with speculation about whether Jane Fisher Rolette, the first woman in Wisconsin Territory to file for a divorce, was truly the independent woman that Hercules Dousman, Joseph's business partner, rechristened Madame Jane.
This critical study illuminates the neglected intersection of war, disease, and gender as represented in an important subgenre of World War I literature. It calls into question public versus private perceptions of time, mass media, urban spaces, emotion, and the increasingly uncertain status of the future.
Laura-Jane Fisher provides one hundred ideas on how to survive the first year of teaching. This book deals with a wide range of issues from coping with the long working hours and managing difficult classes to lesson planning and writing reports for the first time.
