Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Princess Abigail Wahiikaahuula Campbell Kawananakoa (January 1, 1882 - July 3, 1945), was a politician and Princess of Hawai'i by virtue of her marriage to Prince David Laamea Kahalepouli Kawananakoa Piikoi. Prince David became one of the heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i upon the death of Princess Victoria Kaiulani. Prince David unfortunately died of pneumonia in 1908. Princess Abigail was the daughter of James Campbell, one of the wealthiest industrialists in the Territory of Hawai'i. She and Prince David had three children; Edward D. Kawananakoa, Abigail Helen Kapiolani Kawananakoa, and Lydia Liliuokalani Kawananakoa.

Upon the death of her brother-in-law, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole in 1922, Princess Abigail effectively became the leader of all native Hawaiians and took an active part in Hawai'i politics as her subjects' advocate. She also assumed the role of heir to the throne as native Hawaiians continued to pray for the return of their sovereignty. Unlike her brother-in-law Prince Kuhio, Princess Abigail was a devoted Republican and worked to develop its platforms and pursue its ideals. In 1924 she became the Republican national committeewoman for Hawai'i and served in that capacity for twelve years. Her prominence on the national stage made Princess Abigail a role model for women in Hawai'i.
