Abigail Wahiikaahuula Campbell Kawānanakoa (January 1, 1882 – April 12, 1945) was a politician and Princess of Hawaii. ==Life== Abigail Campbell was born January 1, 1882, in Honolulu. Her father was James Campbell, one of the wealthiest industrialists in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Her mother was part-Hawaiian Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine Bright. She graduated from the College of Notre Dame in San Jose, California, in 1900, when she converted from Anglicanism, religion of her parents, to Roman Catholicism. On January 6, 1902, by virtue of her marriage to Prince David Laamea Kahalepouli Kawānanakoa Piikoi, she became known as Princess. Prince David became one of the heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaii upon the death of Princess Victoria Kaiulani. Prince David died of pneumonia in 1908. She and Prince David had three children; David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa, Abigail Helen Kapiolani Kawānanakoa, and Lydia Liliuokalani Kawānanakoa. Upon the death of her brother-in-law, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaole in 1922, Princess Abigail effectively became the leader of all native Hawaiians and took an active part in Hawaii's politics as their 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 Kūhiō, 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 Hawaii and served in that capacity for twelve years. Her prominence on the national stage made Princess Abigail a role model for women in Hawaii. She died at her Honolulu home on April 12, 1945. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
