A Biography of Mrs Marty Mann The First Lady of Alcoholics Anonymous
The little-known life of Marty Mann rivals a Masterpiece Theatre drama.
She was born into a life of wealth and privilege, sank to the lowest depths of poverty and despair, then rose
to inspire thousands of others, especially women, to help themselves. The first woman to achieve long-term
sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous, Marty Mann advocated the understanding that alcoholism is an issue of public
health, not morality. In their fascinating book, Sally and David Brown shed light on this influential figure in
recovery history.
