Margaret Warren and Margaret Mason doing some canning at a community conservation kitchen which was set up in September, 1917 in New York City.  It was part of a program organized by the NY Food Supply Commission as part of the efforts tied to World War II. 

 

Two women in the mid 1920s show off their modern kitchen as they get to work before a get-together.  Notice that the fashion here is changing, as well - twenty years before, the kitchen was a place where the 'work' was done, but here you see that the ladies are wearing their heels and dresses and simply don their aprons while in the kitchen.
