10 Female Rulers Who Need Their Own Shows Just Like �Reign�

Lili’uokalani

Who she is: was a composer of Hawaiian music, an author, and the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii. She reigned from January 29, 1891, until the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 17, 1893

Imagine this, you’ve inherited a monarchy after the death of your older and younger brother and the moment you try and make your kingdom a better place for your people, another civilization comes in and spits all over any plans you had. This is what Lili’uokalani had to deal with.

Before Hawaii was a state, it was just a territory and during this time, Pro-Americans overthrew the monarchy. On top of that, the Marines came in and while the monarchy was struggling to get back up on its’ feet, they knocked them back down again.
