"Dorothy Dale: A Girl of To-Day" by Margaret Penrose is a girls' novel published in 1908. Fourteen-year-old Dorothy lives in small-town New York with her father, a Civil War veteran and newspaper owner, and her younger brothers. Without a mother, Dorothy has grown sensible beyond her years, helping run the family newspaper.
