A kitchen maid or kitchen girl is a young housemaid or other junior female domestic worker. In the hierarchy of a great house she ranked below a cook and above a scullery maid. An experienced kitchen maid is an assistant cook; the position may be compared to that of a line cook in a professional kitchen.
The kitchen maid reports to the Head Cook, if there is one.
Her uniform may consist of a blouse and a skirt, and apron.
Margaret Powell worked as a kitchen girl at the age of 15.[1]
