Queen Lili’uokalani was an amazing woman who made many important decisions and made many sacrifices that have changed the world ever since. The hawaiian warrior like culture is very centered around males and their power and forceful ability to conquer and maintain the beautiful land of Hawaii. Queen Lili’uokalani was the sister of the last king of the hawaiian kingdom. When the queen was just 4 years old she attended the Royal School on Oahu founded by king kamehameha III. She achieved many great things before becoming Queen, and in a society so dominated by a male influence she was able to rise above the suppression and become something great regardless of her situation. The queen was always focusing on informing herself of the problems, and issues taking place among her kingdom of hawaii. From a young age she had attended important councils and for this reason knew more than most about the situations that her people were in. Hawaii went through many tough times as they were struggling economically and striving to have a larger demand for their sugar cane which also at the same time caused more attention to an annexation to the kingdom.
Queen Lili’uokalani stood up for what she believed in, and proved to be very dedicated at getting done what she willed to be done at an early age. One example of this tenacity that she possesed was that of her desire to enter college at a very young age and was actually admitted after a long hard struggle to prove her reasoning, and show her desire for further education. She was only twenty years old and somehow managed to persuaded the college of Oahu to admit her who at the time didnt even admit women into their school. She was most definitly a hard working and dedicated woman. One of the most amazing things about Queen Lili’uokalani was her love for the finer arts and music she was an amazingly talented woman who was able to express
