Queen Lili'uokalani was known for her beautiful music and brave leadership. She ruled the Kingdom of Hawai'i during a difficult time. As American businessmen and politicians tried to take over the kingdom, she fought tirelessly for her people. This podcast is a production of Rebel Girls. It's based on the book series Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. This story was produced by Haley Dapkus with sound design and mixing by Mumble Media. It was written by Gina Gotsill and edited by Abby Sher. Fact-checking by Joe Rhatigan. Narration by Barrie Kealoha. Original theme music was composed and performed by Elettra Bargiacchi. Our executive producers were Joy Smith and Jes Wolfe. Thank you to the whole Rebel Girls team who make this podcast possible. Stay rebel!
Lili'uokalani did not grow up expecting to be queen, but once she was, she had no intention of being a figurehead. Unfortunately, that is what big business and foreign investors wanted her to be. Their clashes were (mostly) nonviolent, but a coup toppled the monarchy and eventually Hawaii was annexed by the United States.

The sultanate of Aceh enjoyed no fewer than four reigning queens in a row. They defended their country against rampant expansion by the Dutch and then the English. The last queen, Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah, was eventually deposed in 1699, through a combination of religious and personal factors, ending 59 years of a highly unusual political experiment in which women were seen as not just acceptable rulers, but preferable to men.

Yes! There have been Muslim queens who ruled their own countries! One of them was Arwa al-Sulayhi who ruled Yemen for 60 years in the 11th and 12th century. She outlasted her husband, her other husband, her son, and her other son, continuing to rule on her own authority through it all. Though the memory of her has faded, her mosque is still there, and so is her palace. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.

The history of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica is hard for historians because the best sources were all destroyed. Those that remain are of dubious historicity, but they do tell of the Queen Xiuhtlaltzin, who reigned somewhere in the 800s or 900s, shortly before the fall of the Toltec empire. Since the records are so sketchy, this episode is not exactly a biography, but it does cover: what written records the people of Mesoamerica left why the written records didn't survive (they got burned) how the people reconstructed their oral histories in the 1600s how those reconstructions tell a very little about Xiuhtlaltzin what archaeology of Tollan/Tula can tell us how Xiuhtlaltzin might have worshipped a frog goddess how she might have cheered and/or played and/or sacrificed the losers of the famous Mesoamerican ball game In the end, the jury's out on whether Xiuhtlaltzin even existed.

The kingdom of Silla in ancient Korea had three queen regnants (a very good score, compared with most other countries of its time). Two reigned in Silla's golden age, but the last was Jinseong, who ruled at a time when decay had set in and the odds were not in her favor.

If you follow the royal news, you may be aware that we had a queen abdicate last month. Or possibly, you missed it because it wasn't in the British royal family. It was Margrethe II of Denmark. I am researching last queens for series 12, fully aware that the word “last” is a little ambiguous here, but I must confess, the connection with this current event, never crossed my historically minded brain. Until I read a blog post on exactly that connection, and a definition of “last” I had not considered. There are currently no queen regnants in Europe at all!

George Boustronios, in his Narrative of the Chronicle of Cyprus 1456–1489, documents the transition from the Lusignan dynasty to Venice. In this month's excerpt, you'll hear a dramatized reading of last Queen of Cyprus, Catherine Cornaro, as she abdicates her throne, bequeathing Cyprus to the Republic of Venice, and departing Cyprus forever. Next month I invite Benjamin Arbel (University of Tel Aviv) to discuss Cyprus under Venetian rule.

In 1893 the independent island kingdom of Hawaiʻi flourished under the leadership of its monarch, Queen Lili'uokalani. But as the leaders of Hawaiʻi's lucrative sugar industry gained power, the Queen struggled to maintain control. Soon, the so-called sugar barons, with the backing of American politicians, began plotting to overthrow the Queen.The contested and controversial removal of Hawaiʻi's last reigning monarch would pave the way for the kingdom to be annexed as a U.S. territory, forever changing the fate of the islands.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

On January 17, 1893, Hawaii's monarchy was overthrown when a group of businessmen and sugar planters forced Queen Liliuokalani to abdicate, the first step towards the islands' annexation as a US territory and eventual admission as the 50th state in the union. Interest in Hawaii began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith there, but only really became serious in 1880s when Queen Liliuokalani began trying to return power to the indigenous Hawaiian people. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss the contemporary US efforts to make amends for the past; look at Queen Liliuokalani's many talents, including composition; and speculate that Parents' Day at the Hawaiian Chief's Children's School must have been an awkward affair… Further Reading: • ‘Five Things To Know About Liliʻuokalani, the Last Queen of Hawaiʻi' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2017): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/five-things-know-about-liliuokalani-last-queen-hawaii-180967155/ • ‘Queen Lili‘uokalani - The First and Last Queen of Hawai‘i' (PBS, 2020): https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/queen-liliuokalani-the-first-and-last-queen-of-hawaii-kx2oc7/15032/ • ‘Aloha Dying - A Hawaii Documentary' (Cody Brooks, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhMa-NHZRCA&t=2115s #US #Black #Person Love the show?

We hope you enjoy this rerelease of one of our favorite episode: Episode 31. Originally released on June 29, 2020, you will hear us discuss one of our favorite elected officials ever, Buddy Cianci. He was quite a character and reminded us of Tina's favorite show, The Sopranos. Hillary and Tina cover the illegal occupation of Hawaii and former Providence, Rhode Island Mayor Vincent “Buddy” Cianci. Hillary's Story The island chain of Hawaii was ruled by the Kingdom of Hawaii beginning in 1795, but in 1893, the United States unlawfully invaded the island leading to an overthrow of the Hawaiian government. Tina's Story Buddy Cianci served as the longest serving mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from 1975-1984, and again from 1991-2002. But, when the FBI gets wind of a possible corruption scandal, Buddy may have been too buddy buddy with local scoundrels and found himself in the muck.

The more experienced writers are aware that the hardest thing to do is to write without trying to be clever. Some writers are born to coruscating prose. And then there are those who can entertain readers without having to use words like...coruscating.My guest today—Chitra Divakaruni— is such a writer.Reading Chitra is like traveling in a car with an excellent suspension—you don't feel the potholes. Or maybe that's because there are no potholes in her prose.Her writing is not only honest, sincere and without artifice, but also vivid. So vivid that film makers seem to be falling about making movies out of everything she writes. The Mistress Of Spices—starring Dylan McDermott and Aishwarya Rai—is one famous example. Sister Of My Heart was turned into a TV show in Tamil called Anbulla Snegitheiye (Beloved Friend).Her stories have been turned into movies, plays, even opera.To say that Chitra Divakaruni's prose is romantic or evocative is to fall to spewing platitudes. What any writer, critic or serious reader of books needs to understand is that Chitra's consistently good writing comes from craft not from a random muse.For that qualification, she is a professor at Houston University teaching creative writing.Her most recent book The Last Queen is a historical account of Rani Jindan, wife of then Maharaja of Punjab, Ranjit Singh and mother of the next Maharaja, Dalip Singh. The book may be categorized as historical fiction but the fiction is in the gaps of the story. The historical account is rich and—I'll say it—evocative.And now it is my pleasure to present one of the best known Indian writers Chitra Divakaruni.ABOUT CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNIChitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an award-winning author, poet, activist and teacher. She is the author of 20 books including Mistress of Spices, Sister of My Heart, Oleander Girl, Before We Visit the Goddess and Palace of Illusions. Her latest novels are The Forest of Enchantments, a feminist retelling of the epic The Ramayana in the voice of Sita, and The Last Queen, the story of Maharani Jindan, the indomitable queen regent of Punjab who fought the British in many ingenious ways. Divakaruni often writes about contemporary life in America and India, women's experiences, immigration, history, magical realism and mythology.Buy The Last Queen here: https://amzn.to/3QsthShWHAT'S THAT WORD?! - CATCH-22Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the origins of the phrase "catch-22".WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or, you can visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bangaloreliterarysociety.Or you can go to our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/.Join our Facebook group, Bangalore Literary Society.

The hosts unravel the lives and legacies of two female dictators; Cleopatra, The Last Queen of Egypt and Catherine The Great, Empress of Russia. They discuss Cleopatra's Macedonian heritage, her battles with he brother, her recruitment of Julius Caesar, her seduction of Mark Antony and her famous Shakespearean death. They also discuss Catherine's Prussian origins, the coup that placed her on the throne, her enlightenment ideas, ruthless treatment of dissenters, her territorial conquests and the myth surrounding her death. These two dictators battle it out in Round 17 of the knock-out tournament to determine the single greatest dictator of all time. One of these two dictators will be eliminated from the tournament and the other will remain in contention to be crowned history's biggest dictator.

Larry is back in studio this week as we tackle the straight up goofy tale of Queen Liliuokalani, the Last Queen of Hawaii.
Something a little different this episode. I look at the life of Queen Liliuokalani and try to extract wisdom from her acts of courage, love and the willingness to never give up on her people. I was inspired when I discovered the story of this heroic woman and hope others might be also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3jnu0zhZrU
