Married women, or those of marriageable age, may remove body hair.

My Rabbi says no.
Ask your own Shaila.

Rabbi Yair Hoffman just had an article about this. The general consensus is that married women and those in the parsha may, but younger girls may not.

If you feel degraded and disgusting, shaving is not a problem until rosh choidesh as far as I have been told. That applies to girls as well, not just married ladies. After rosh choidesh is a different story.

I think she meant legs/underarms.

And looking at your ticker ... there is no way your DD is almost 7-1/2! Wow!

I was taught that the takana of not shaving did not apply to women as they did not accept it as their minhag.
