young girl
Prepubescent female child
A young girl is a female child, typically one who has not yet reached adolescence.
The phrase emphasizes youth more than girl alone: A young girl answered the door.
It sometimes carries connotations of innocence or vulnerability: She was just a young girl when her father died.
