Who was Elizabeth Kahanu Kalanianaʻole?

Elizabeth Kahanu Kaleiwohi-Kaʻauwai Kalanianaʻole Woods was the wife of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, Hawaii's second delegate to Congress. Kaʻauwai was her maiden name and Kalanianaʻole was the surname of her husband. She, like her sister-in-law Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa, was a Hawaiian princess by marriage to a Hawaiian Prince. Their husbands were granted the title in 1883 and style "Highness", so their wives shared their title even though their marriages were after the Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
