worried about getting punctures.
Teach a woman to
fishfix puncture...Marathon Plus are pretty heavy duty. If she's only doing 15mi at a time make her life a bit easier with some Durano Plus or Durano even? But doesn't matter what tyre you have, being able to fix a puncture when it inevitably happens is useful and if it's a social ride, they're gonna wait, right?

My mum has a hybrid type bike with mtb tyres. She wants to start riding on the road with a local ladies group (max 15 miles/social ride) and is worried about getting punctures.
I was thinking to put Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres on her bike. Does that sound like a good idea?
