Princess Victoria Ka’iulani
Princess Victoria Ka’iulani Summary
Princess Victoria Ka’iulani was born during a time when the world was androcentric (Renzetti, Curran, and Maier, 2012). Hawai’i flourished with colonial ambitions and commercial interests. During this era Princess Ka’iulani loses her nurturer, role model (Renzetti, Curran, and Maier, 2012), and the love of her life; her mother. Her father eager to protect Princess Ka’iulani from foreign influence taking place in Hawai’i, sends her to England to obtain a Western style education, only to exposes her to a world of sexism, racism, and discrimination (Forby, 2008). Meanwhile, the legal system in Hawai’i begins to be replaced by acts that often displayed the influence of the Calvinists beliefs of the early missionaries. Both, the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875 and the Bayonet Constitution enforced upon the Kingdom of Hawai’i encouraged by Anglo-American legal concepts helped strengthen colonialism and stripped the King of his powers. As conflict intensifies in her kingdom, Princess Ka’iulani must make the toughest decisions of her life; choose between two loves. Unable to ignore the injustices and suffrage that her Kanaka people are enduring, Princess Ka’iulani held a “women’s movement of her own” (Renzetti, Curran, and Maier, 2012), she gathers all her courage and journeys to Washington to meet with President Cleveland in an attempt to re-instate the monarchy and win her country back from colonial rule (Forby, 2008). Thurston, apprehensive with Princess Ka’iulani’s schema (Renzetti, Curran, and Maier, 2012), hypothetically constructs a fabricated image of Princess Ka’iulani to the media prior to her arrival in Washington.
Furthermore, Princess Ka’iulani, at the age of seventeen, uses reflection hypothesis (Renzetti, Curran, and Maier, 2008) as a means of getting the attention of the American public and President Cleveland. According to a quote taken from Entertainment Magazine (2010) "Ka’iulani 's courage, compassion, diplomacy,
