A firsthand account of the way one Southern Jewish woman served the Confederate cause

Phoebe Yates Pember's A Southern Woman's Story is the inaugural volume in the University of South Carolina Press's new paperback series, American Civil War Classics. First published in 1879, A Southern Woman's Story chronicles Phoebe Pember's experiences as matron of the Confederate Chimborazo Hospital from November 1862 until the fall of Richmond in April 1865. Long an important source in Confederate history, A Southern Woman's Story is also a valuable book for students and scholars of women's history and the social history of the Civil War.

In many ways Phoebe Pember was a representative upper-class gentlewoman. Daughter of a prominent Jewish merchant of Charleston, South Carolina, who moved his family to Savannah, Georgia in the 1850s, she sought ways to help the Southern cause--but she broke all stereotypes by the character and length of her service. Her book is equally distinctive. No dilettante's romance or saccharine Lost Cause tale, it is a remarkably frank treatment of Confederate social and medical history. Pember reports on the gossip and scandals from inside the Confederacy's largest hospital and the embattled city of Richmond, presenting bureaucratic personalities and stock characters with insight and occasional flashes of humor.
