Betsy of the Betsy-Tacy books is a remarkable balance for her time. She is strongly interested in a writing career but also popular with boys (and girls, but that's less rare). When I was rereading them as an adult, I found the "I don't want to choose, I want both" idea surprisingly modern considering how much I remembered about apple-peeling fortune-telling games and contemporary slang of the time.
