Pehea lā hoʻi he mea e kaumaha ai ka manawa o nā naita hanohano i hala aku nei. A i kēia manawa, aia nā aliʻi wahine maikaʻi i kēia manawa e lanakila i ka honua a hakakā me nā'īlio hae - akā,ʻo ka maikaʻi,ʻo ia wale nō ma keʻanoʻano. Ua kūleʻaleʻa a ua lōʻihi ko lākou hakakā no kā lākou mau pono pono'ī, a ua hemo, a ua holo wikiwiki e lanakila i nā kānaka i hikiʻole keʻikeʻia. ʻAe, a me ka pōmaikaʻi! ʻO ka wahine wahine hōʻole, he pelekikena wahine, he wahine mālama palekana - inā iʻaʻa ke kanaka e hana i kēia ma ka hoʻomakaʻana o ke kenekulia iwakālua, eʻikeʻiaʻo iaʻo ka meaʻoi aku kaʻoihana,ʻo ka mea liʻiliʻi loa.
ʻO nā hanana kūʻokoʻa o kā mākou manawa hāpai a hoʻolei aku i kahi i ka lani kiʻekiʻe o nā kapuaʻi, kekahi ma luna o ka pūnaewele puna puna i loko o ka moana, kekahi i loko o ka pahu o ka mea hakakā o keʻano hou. ʻAʻole hiki hou, kahi, kahi o nā lā hou o ka hapalua nani e hikiʻole ai ke hele. ʻO kekahi o nā mea hope loa e haʻalele i kaʻoihana. Aʻo ka hua'ōlelo hui pū o ka manawa hou, he'ahuʻula ke nānā aku, nā lanakila lanakila - ka wahine kālepa, ka pāʻoihana, ka makuahine.
Akā,ʻaʻole kēia manaʻo e ho'āʻo ana nā wāhine e hopu i ka pilikua a pani i nā kāne i nā mea a pau, i nā wahi a pau e ho'āʻo nei e hoʻokumu i kā lākou mālama, hoʻolālā a me nā aliʻi. ʻAe,ʻoiai, ua hiki i nā wāhine ke hoʻonui i ka kālā, akā,ʻaʻole lākou a pau e makemake e alakaʻi, a,ʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea a pau ke hana. No laila, he nui nā wahi kahi e hiki ai i kahi wahine i kēia manawa ke holomua me kaʻole he makuahine wahine. Eia kekahi laʻana, ma kaʻoihana kiʻiʻoniʻoni, keʻano a me ka hōʻikeʻana i nāʻoihana, kaʻoihana nani, nā'ahamele. Maʻaneʻi hiki iāʻoe keʻike i kou kāheaʻana, e hana i kaʻoihana palekana, kaulana i nā wahi a pau o ka honua. E like me ka'ōlelo a nāʻAmelika, hiki i kekahi ke ala a kaulana i kahi lā. ʻO kahi kahi e ala ai? Loaʻa iāʻoe he kapuahiʻohana? ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, pehea e pili ana i ka hauʻoli o kaʻohana? Akā,ʻaʻole ka wahine he kāne, heʻohana no kāna - ma mua o nā mea a pau. Pēlā paha e pale ai kēiaʻoihana? Pehea eʻike ai ka wahine i kēia manawa - pili like kaʻohana a me kaʻoihana? Hāpai maikaʻi lākou i kekahi i kekahi? Hui pū me ka maluhia? Hele pilikiaʻoe?
Heʻoiaʻiʻo, he aha ka wahine e koho ai inā e nalowale kekahi o kēia mau meaʻelua: heʻohana a heʻoihana paha? He kūponoʻole ka nīnau, a ua maopopo ka pane. Akā, aia hoʻi,ʻo ka helu helu o ke ola, hōʻikeʻiaʻaʻole nā mea a pau i'ōlohelohe, a i kēlā me kēia makahiki, hiki i ka poʻe i paʻakikī a maʻalahi paha ke kaumaha i kaʻohana no kaʻoihana.
No ke ahaʻo ia? No ke aha i hoʻopilikiaʻia ai ka wahine? Ma hope o nā mea a pau, no ka nui o ke kaʻa e paʻa ai ka wahine wahine,ʻaʻole ia e poina i ka mea nui - ua hānauʻo ia he Wahine. A no laila, no ka lanakilaʻana i kekahi kiʻekiʻe, e hoʻokō i nā hopena kūhālike e pono loa e like me kona kūlana kūlohelohe a me nā hopena i pili mai ia mea. ʻAʻole pono ka wahine e hoʻolei iā ia iho ma ke kuahu o kaʻoihana, e hoʻokau i kona hale me nā mea aloha. Ma kaʻoihana, e like me ke ola,ʻaʻole nā mea a pau i maʻalahi a maʻalahi. He mea hikiʻole ke hana me kaʻaʻeʻole. He mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia a ma mua e hoʻomākaukauʻia no ka meaʻaʻole iʻikeʻia i kaʻohana ka hāʻuleʻana a me ka naloʻana i kaʻoihana. ʻO ka meaʻole, mai ka hale mālama haʻahaʻa a mālama hoʻi i kahi hale hauʻoli, hiki i kekahi ke lilo i mea hoʻokūkū. ʻAʻole hewa ka home no ka mea he makuahine wahine,ʻaʻole pono iā lākouʻaʻole wale nō ka maikaʻi e like meʻoe: kou hiki mai, kou manaʻo, kāuʻano'ōlelo.
ʻAʻohe mea waiwai e hoʻopili i kahi kāne me ka wahine, a me nā keiki me kahi makuahine. Makemakeʻoe e lilo i wahineʻoihana - e aʻo e lilo. He aʻo, ho'āʻo, hoʻohui, aʻaʻole hoʻi e mōhai hoʻokahi no ka pono o kekahi. Eia kekahi, he mea e paio ai. ʻO kaʻike maʻalahi o kaʻohana a me kāuʻoihana uaʻaeʻia i nā inoa o nā wāhine e kani a hoʻomālamalama i ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona nani o kahi hui likeʻole o ka wahine lanakila a me ka makuahine maikaʻi. ʻO kekahi o lākouʻo Joan Rowling ka honua kaulana loa.
