Specificatii
Marty Mann was the first woman to achieve long-term sobriety in
Alcoholics Anonymous, and she inspired thousands of others,
especially women, to help themselves. 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. Born in
Chicago in 1905, Marty was favored with beauty, brains, charisma,
phenomenal energy, and a powerful will. She could also out drink
anyone in her group of social elites. When her father became
penniless, she was forced into work, landed a lucrative public
relations position, and a decade later was destitute because of her
drinking. She was committed to a psychiatric center in 1938-a time
when the term alcoholism was virtually unknown, the only known
treatment was drying out, and two men were compiling the book
Alcoholics Anonymous. Marty read it on the recommendation of
psychiatrist Dr. Harry Tiebout: it was her first step toward
sobriety and a long, illustrious career as founder of the National
Council on Alcoholism, or NCA.In the early 1950s, journalist Edward
R. Murrow selected Marty as one of the 10 greatest living
Americans. Marty died of a stroke in 1980, shortly after addressing
the AA international convention in New Orleans.This is a story of
one woman's indefatigable effort and indomitable spirit,
compellingly told by Sally and David Brown.
