Thanks to Yolanda at A Primary Contradiction, I found this great website! I've happily added it to the list of important webpages and sites, on the right side of this blog. Yolanda's blog is also linked to in A.R.P.'s blogroll.

As is generally the case, I often find great authors and books long after they've been published.

This is simply an introduction to the book, not a review. To read in the book just a bit click here.

[Just above is an image of the book's front cover.]

For much more, click here. I will note, critically, that I do not find Hawai'ian women's voices to be centralised on the Free Hawai'i blog/website.
