Notable Women of Hawaii

Notable Women of Hawaii by Peterson, Barbara Bennett. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780824808204.

Notable Women of Hawaii is a biographical reference work documenting womens contributions to the history of the Hawaiian Islands. The models for it were the three-volume work entitled Notable American Woman (1971), the first comprehensive scholarly biographical dictionary of its kind, and its supplementary volume, Notable American The Modern Period (1980). As in the national volumes, all women included in this work are deceased, their lives and accomplishments now part of history. This book is a work of collective historical biography that seeks to integrate womens personal lives with their professional careers by providing information on crucial dates, ancestry, parents, siblings, education, marital status, career summary and professional or social impact on history. It concludes with suggested additional readings.
