Phoebe Doty (died June 9, 1849)[1] was an American prostitute and madam.
In 1821, she started her career in a bordello in the Five Points neighborhood of New York City.
[2] Doty had an adopted daughter, Sal Wright, who also became a prostitute.
She held lavish balls at her brothel to attract new customers and to mingle with the upper classes.
The Libertine suggested that Doty and another madam, Adeline Miller, should rent the Park Theatre and talk about their lives.
