Beschreibung

In the late eighteenth century, Hawai'i's ruling elite employed sophisticated methods for resisting foreign intrusion. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, American missionaries had gained a foothold in the islands. Jennifer Thigpen explains this shift by focusing on two groups of women: missionary wives and high-ranking Hawaiian women.
