Her Best-Kept Secret by Gabrielle Glaser
Journalist Gabrielle Glaser explores the reasons behind why women are drinking more often than ever, and in ever-larger quantities.
[A] substantial book, interested in hard facts and nuance rather than hand-wringing. . . Glaser makes a persuasive case that Alcoholics Anonymous, which enjoys a near monopoly in the recovery sphere, is structurally and functionally unsuited to many women. * The New York Times Book Review *
