The article "From Sparta to Spencer Street: Greek Women in Hawaii" by Helen Geracimos Chapin, published in the Hawaiian Journal of History, Vol. 13, 1979; p. 136-156. It includes the names of 60 Greek people associated with the subject women. See below for the complete list of names.
Excerpt from article:
"In Hawai'i between 1879 and World War II, approximately eighty-five male
pioneers, chiefly from the Sparta area in the Peloponnesus, settled on O'ahu
and the island of Hawai'i. Between 1903 and 1939, twelve Greek born women
came to live here. There has been a fresh infusion of new first generation
immigrants since 1945, and a number of these have been women who have
joined the primary group. In addition, several hundred second and third
generation Greek Americans have settled in Hawai'i between 1900 and the
present. But I am limiting my discussion here to the twelve first generation
pre-World War II women for the following reasons. First, this group, which
contain young girls to old women, is an historical reflection of female
immigrant experiences. The group represents a spectrum that ranges from
almost total lack of assimilation, to a partial accomodation to Hawai'i's
emerging culture, to an acceptance of the new society while yet maintaining
socio-cultural distinctiveness. Second, the Greek women are examples of the
force of individual human lives caught up in but not dominated by larger
events. While they initially followed the men 10,000 miles, they have not been
just passive agents upon whom a new and alien culture imposed itself, but
have in varying degrees transported values and customs and kept them alive.
Third, in them we can see what it means to be Greek and female in Hawai'i."NAMES LISTED IN ARTICLE
