Cassandra Cain first appeared in Batman #567, published by DC in 1999. That places it in the Modern Age.
Why this issue matters
Introduced during the No Man's Land event, the daughter of two assassins was raised without language so that body movement became her first tongue, letting her read opponents perfectly. She became the first Batgirl to headline her own ongoing series.
