Women in Hawaii reside from the Hawaiian Island and are citizens of the United States. Hawaiian women descended from Polynesians who migrated from two separate islands, the Marquesas Island and Tahiti.
Hawaiian culture, from the beginning, has always empowered their women's capabilities. The Hawaiian chant Kumulipo tells about first woman. The formation of the Hawaiian islands even date back to the goddess: the story of Pele's fire pits: where she created Kau'i to Hawai'i islands. Hawaiian language resemble that of New Zealand Maori.
Important Hawaiian women[]
Queen Regent Ka'ahumanu is most recognized for abolishing the Kapu system that Hawaii was once under and allowed for Calvinist missionaries to convert Hawaiians. Ka'ahumanu is credited for overcoming an entire religion and changing a nation in one generation. Another notable Hawaiian woman is Queen Lili'uokalani who was the first queen of Hawaii. She also established the Lili'uokalani Educational Society, which helped other Hawaiian girls receive education. These girls were mainly orphans.
