Description
"Emma: Hawai'i's Remarkable Queen is a biography of a beloved and influential woman in Hawaiian history. Her enduring legacy includes renowned institutions that thrive in Hawai'i today: The Queen's Medical Center, St. Andrew's Priory, 'Iolani School, and St. Andrew's Cathedral."--BOOK JACKET. "Emma at age twenty married Alexander Liholiho, or Kamehameha IV, who had been an admirer of Emma since their days together at the Chief's Children's School. The new queen quickly became involved in the king's business, especially that of saving the Hawaiian people from extinction. Together the king and queen raised the initial funds necessary to build a hospital, which we know today as Queen's."--BOOK JACKET. "In the midst of these achievements, however, Emma experienced two profound tragedies: the death of little Prince Albert at the age of four, followed by the death of her husband at the age of twenty-nine. Emma's grief seemed only to streghthen her resolve. In 1874 she even became a candidate for the throne. But politics was not Emma's strong suit. Humanitarianism was."--BOOK JACKET.
