..surely it's more portable, so what @well_is_it meantioned is likely more true with a more portable camera.
Still I'd say a proper, big viewfinder (of a SLR) helps you develop compositional skill a lot.
When film is an option, one of the old Pentax bodies with their awesome finders, paired with the 40mm pancake would be great (small, pretty light, huge finder, cheap) -

I guess I think she'd get on better with something like a X100 because it forces you to learn about composition etc and it's a lot more portable and therefore more likely to get used than a DSLR
