I looked up the Daisy Gumm books they sound like a good fit for me, my library doesn't have any of them in Audio form but Audible does and I am a prime member so can get it that way. I'll write myself a note.
For similar tastes but set in the past is the Maisie Dobbs books by Jacqueline Winspear, set in Britain mostly from WWI on. They say "maisie dobbs" so often in the first books it sort of got to me... Maisie is a girl who grew up in service but was able to go to school and otherwise improve her lot in life and then got involved in adventures of various sorts as a "psychologist and investigator".

Lately I'm going through the Mary Russell/Mrs. Sherlock Holmes books by Laurie R King. I read the Beekeeper's Apprentice when it was first written, bunch of them have come out since then. There are a number of similarities between Mary and Maisie. Some have been better than others.

Another semi-similar series is set in San Francisco around the time of the fire/earthquake is by Shirley Tallman. The protagonist is a female lawyer. Or more specifically, the only female lawyer...

For modern female lawyers I enjoyed the Barbara Holloway books by Kate Wilhelm. Barbara is a death penalty qualified lawyer in Eugene, Oregon. Not the usual place for murder mysteries!

Only a few of them, but I liked the Cree Black books by Daniel Hecht. Cree is a Seattle based psychic detective, so some supernatural elements to the story. Not similar to the other books but psychic detective got in my head
