The book provides a detailed account of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 by American businessmen and politicians, who were supported by the United States government. The Queen recounts her personal experiences during the turbulent times leading up to the overthrow, including her attempts to negotiate with the American government to preserve the sovereignty of Hawaii. She also discusses the political and social climate of Hawaii during her reign, including the influence of American missionaries, the impact of the sugar industry on the economy, and the growing tensions between native Hawaiians and foreign settlers.Throughout the book, Liliuokalani expresses her deep love for her country and her people, and her strong belief in the importance of preserving Hawaiian culture and traditions. She also reflects on the role of women in Hawaiian society and the challenges she faced as a female monarch.Overall, Hawaii's Story By Hawaii's Queen, Liliuokalani provides a unique and important perspective on the history of Hawaii and the struggle for Hawaiian independence.
