The American Woman's Association (AWA) came into being in 1922 succeeding its predecessor organization, the Vacation Association (which was also called the Working Girls Vacation Association), a group that helped working women save money for vacations. The AWA provided social, recreational, and educational activities for its members. It operated a number of clubhouses in Manhattan which provided living quarters for some members. The most renowned of these would later be known as the Henry Hudson Hotel on W. 57th St. This was built and operated by the American Woman's Realty Corporation, an independent subsidiary of the American Woman's Association. In 1942, the AWA sold the Henry Hudson Hotel and leased the Barclay Hotel on E. 48th St. By the 1960's the organization was in decline. In 1974, operating as a foundation, the AWA disposed of its remaining assets.
