The Women's Athletic Club of Los Angeles

The club had just been completed, at a cost of more than $1 million (raised from members and a loan from the Bank of Italy, later Bank of America). The club, a female response to Los Angeles' oldest private club, the all-male Los Angeles Athletic Club, offered upper-middle class women and a growing female professional class opportunities for recreation and socializing. The building, thoroughly illustrated in this pamphlet, provided sports facilities and hotel rooms.
