Summary | "Dorothy Dale: A Girl of To-Day" by Margaret Penrose is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a fourteen-year-old girl named Dorothy Dale, who is the daughter of Major Frank Dale, a prominent veteran in the small town of Dalton, New York. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to her determination, courage, and the strong bond she shares with her friends, especially Tavia Travers, as they navigate various challenges, including personal conflicts and societal expectations. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of a significant day for Dorothy, which is Decoration Day, when she is set to lead a procession honoring veterans. As she prepares for the event with her friend Tavia, readers gain a sense of her pride and sense of responsibility as Major Dale's daughter. Their excitement quickly morphs into turmoil when Tavia gets unfairly punished by a strict teacher. The two girls bond over their shared struggles and confront the challenges posed by their peers and authority figures in a supportive yet realistic manner. Overall, the beginning establishes the themes of friendship, patriotism, and the quest for justice, drawing readers into the heartfelt world of young Dorothy and her courageous spirit.
