Who Was Queen Lili’uokalani? Influential Women of History

Queen Lili’uokalani was the first woman ever to rule the Kingdom of Hawaii and the first queen regnant in the history of Hawaii. She was born in 1838 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was educated by American missionaries. She became fluent in English and wrote many beautiful songs and hymns.

As a leader, Queen Lili’uokalani was a strong advocate for Hawaiian culture and traditions. She worked to protect her people’s rights and preserve Hawaii’s rich history and customs. Despite facing many challenges and obstacles, she remained determined and brave throughout her reign.
