Summary

In "A Woman's Wanderings and Trials During the Anglo-Boer War," Jacoba Elizabeth De la Rey presents a poignant and personal narrative that intertwines the personal struggles of women with the broader socio-political turmoil of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). This memoir is characterized by its vivid, emotive language and an intimate first-person account, capturing the resilience and fortitude of women amidst the chaos of war. De la Rey not only documents the physical hardships of displacement and loss but also explores the psychological toll of conflict, thereby situating her narrative within the rich tradition of war literature that foregrounds female experiences. Jacoba Elizabeth De la Rey, a member of the prominent Boer family, experienced the dire realities of the war firsthand, which deeply informed her writing. Raised in a conservative society impacted by colonial tensions, her experiences as a wife and mother during this turbulent period motivated her to document the often-overlooked narratives of women. De la Rey's insights reflect her personal convictions and the societal challenges that women faced, promoting a rich understanding of their role in history. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in gender studies, military history, and personal narratives of resilience. De la Rey's unique perspective provides a necessary counterpoint to traditional war accounts, and her literary account serves as an essential resource for understanding the multi-faceted impacts of war on women's lives.

    Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property--known as Bishop Estate--to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai‘i: Kamehameha Schools. A century later, Bishop Estate controlled nearly one out of every nine acres in the state, a concentration of private land ownership rarely seen anywhere in the world. Then in August 1997 the unthinkable happened: Four revered kupuna (native Hawaiian elders) and a professor of trust law publicly charged Bishop Estate trustees with gross incompetence and massive trust abuse. Entitled "Broken Trust," the statement provided devastating details of rigged appointments, violated trusts, cynical manipulation of the trust's beneficiaries, and the shameful involvement of many of Hawai‘i's powerful. 
    No one is better qualified to examine the events and personalities surrounding the scandal than two of the original "Broken Trust" authors. Their comprehensive account together with historical background, brings to light information that has never before been made public, including accounts of secret meetings and communications involving Supreme Court justices.
