Drag racing is a whole lot different than road racing, keep that in mind. As for the power you want her to "start off with", that sounds more like ego getting in the way (yours,hers,both???). When I've instructed students, I've always told them it is not how fast you can go around a track, but how smoothly and consistently you can do so. Speed comes later once you master the rest......The same should be said about the power levels you want vs what you actually need to start off with at this time. Also, gender does not matter, maturity level and the want to properly learn a new skill is.
