CBC Showcase: Celebrating National Women's History Month
by Sharon Linnéa
Illustrated with black-and-white archival photographs
On March 1, 1893, Princess Ka'iulani, the seventeen-year-old crown
princess of Hawaii, stepped onto the pier at New York City. She was
greeted by a crowd of reporters and onlookers who knew that, in many ways,
she stood at a crossroads in history. Fully aware of the significance of
her visit, she prayed that she could help persuade the American government
to return her beautiful islands to the Hawaiian people.
Using many newly translated journals and letters, Sharon Linnéa introduces
young readers to the most beloved figure in Hawaiian history.
