Abigail Wahiʻikaʻahuʻula Campbell Kawānanakoa (January 1, 1882 – April 12, 1945) was a politician and Princess of Hawaiii.
Abigail Campbell was born January 1, 1882, in Honolulu. She was born in the same bedroom of the Emma Street mansion which had been the birthplace of Princess Ka'iulani. Her father was James Campbell,  one of the wealthiest industrialists in the Kingdom of Hawaii.  Her mother was part-Hawaiian Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine Bright.
On January 6, 1902, by virtue of her marriage to Prince David La'amea Kahalepouli Kawananakoa Pi'ikoi, she became known as Princess Abigail.
Upon the death of her brother-in-law, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole in 1922, Princess Abigail effectively became the leader of all native Hawaiians and took an active part in Hawaiʻi'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
This rare piece of Hawaiian history would look great framed!
guaranteed authentic and unaltered.
