Phoebe Yates Pember (1823-1913) was born in Charleston, South Carolina and moved with her family to Savannah, Georgia, in the 1850s. Widowed and childless in 1861, Pember took the post of matron at the Confederate Army's Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. She labored there throughout the war and in 1879 chronicled her experiences in A Southern Woman's Story. Pember was honored by Confederate veterans' organizations in her later years, and in 1995 her portrait appeared on a U.S. Postal Service Civil War commemorative stamp.
