About Marty Mann
- Marty Mann (October 15, 1904 – July 22, 1980) was an early female member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and author of the chapter "Women Suffer Too" in the second through fourth editions of the Big Book of AA.

- The first woman to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous was "Lil", who relapsed and later got sober outside A.A., and the first woman who attained any length of sobriety (although she later relapsed) was Florence R., author of the chapter "A Feminine Victory", in the first edition of the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
- Ms.
- Mann was, however, the first lesbian member of Alcoholics Anonymous at a time when gay and lesbians were not accepted by society.
