Thanks, Brian:

Throughout the book of Ruth, Naomi called Ruth 
"my daughter" e.g. Ruth 2:22 and 3:1.

Other than that, the main examples that I could 
think of were where "daughters" was used in parallel 
with "sons" (several times, look up in a concordance) 
and since "sons" has a wider meaning than common 
usage in English, that the parallel usage in Hebrew 
should also indicate wider meaning for "daughters".
