EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during World War I, showcasing a cooking class for men at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. The image, taken on August 13, 1917 by Bain News Service, provides a glimpse into the educational efforts aimed at preparing soldiers for service during wartime.
In this snapshot frozen in time, Gladys Kierstead can be seen leading the class with poise and expertise. As one of the few women involved in military training at that time, her presence is both groundbreaking and inspiring. The men participating in the class are attentive and engaged as they learn valuable culinary skills that will serve them well on the battlefield.
The setting of the Pratt Institute adds to the historical significance of this image, highlighting how institutions across America were mobilizing to support their armed forces during a tumultuous period in global history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Gladys Kierstead who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes during times of war.
