Last Queen of Hawaii: Liliuokalani

About this book

In Last Queen of Hawaii: Liliuokalani, Hazel Hutchins Wilson brings to life one of the most extraordinary and poignant figures in Pacific and American history — Queen Liliuokalani, the final monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. With grace and narrative clarity, Wilson chronicles the Queen's journey from a privileged royal upbringing to her forced abdication in 1893 amid the turbulent political intrigues that would lead to Hawaii's annexation by the United States.

Drawing on personal writings, diplomatic records, and eyewitness testimony, Wilson paints a portrait of a ruler of deep intellect, moral strength, and artistic sensibility. Liliuokalani emerges not as a passive victim of imperial ambition, but as a courageous woman of conscience who sought to balance tradition with modern reform. The book explores the cultural flowering of the Hawaiian court, the pressures of Western expansion, and the heartbreak of a nation watching its sovereignty slip away.

Wilson's prose is both respectful and compelling, blending biography with the sweep of history. Last Queen of Hawaii captures the dignity of a woman who remained steadfast in her faith and compassion even in defeat, ensuring her place as one of history's most resilient and inspiring monarchs. This is not just a royal biography but a meditation on loyalty, loss, and the enduring spirit of Hawaii itself.
