newsgirl
Girl delivering papers
A newsgirl is a girl who sells or delivers newspapers.
The term is dated, reflecting a time when children commonly worked as newspaper vendors on street corners.
The male equivalent is newsboy.
Both have largely given way to gender-neutral terms like newspaper carrier as the job shifted from children hawking papers to adults on delivery routes.
