A milkmaid or milk maid is a girl or woman employed to milk cows. She also used the milk to prepare dairy products such as cream, butter, and cheese. The term is not a female equivalent of milkman and is now largely obsolete due to the use of automated milking machines in the modern dairy industry and because milking cows is no longer considered to be exclusively "women's work".
