Autorenporträt
Liliʻuokalani, born Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamakaʻeha on September 2, 1838, holds the historical distinction of being the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. As an author, her most notable work is 'Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen', an autobiography which provides a poignant and detailed account of her life and the political turmoil surrounding the kingdom's overthrow by forces aided by elements within the United States government. The book, first published in 1898, serves not only as a personal narrative but also as a forceful assertion of Hawaiian sovereignty and a document of political protest. Her literary style, both narrative and distinctly personal, articulately conveys her perspective on the events that led to the illegal annexation of Hawaii. Liliʻuokalani's contributions to literature go beyond chronicling history; they offer an intimate glimpse into the heart and mind of a queen stripped of her throne yet determined to plead the cause of her people. Beyond her literary accomplishments, she was known for her deep commitment to her nation, her advocacy for Hawaiian rights, and her contributions to music, including the composition of the famous Hawaiian song, 'Aloha ʻOe.' Liliʻuokalani's legacy endures through her writings, songs, and the ongoing efforts to understand and honor the Hawaiian culture and history she so cherished.
