Very simple, buy her, her own Vette. Then she can drive at a speed she is comfortable with and you can drive at your speed. It worked for me. My wife hates the speed I drive at.

Ok... here it is!
from a female point of view--let her drive. If she doesn't want to then ignore what she has to say. Atleast you gave her a chance to drive.
My husband tells me I will be the first one to get a ticket! In a corvette it is hard to stay the speed limit all the time!!

He killed it probably 75 times in the 90 minutes I forced him to putt around in town. I just about busted a gut when I told him to take a road that had a stop sign atop the hill. The ever so slight incline just about made him get out and walk he was so frustrated.
Later that day I had him drive half of the way to my place (~2 hrs, back roads and interstate), and aside from forgetting to use the clutch in a parking lot coming to a stop at a rest area, he did fine. I figure he can drive any manual short of a big-rig now that he figured out mine... 
I think you'll be fine, as it is far more likely an adult will listen to suggestions on how to drive it. FWIW, I don't think you should laugh when she stalls it over and over.
My first time driving a manual car was not pretty. It was much unlike the tractors.

I taught my 16 year old nephew how to drive a manual in my FRC. I've got a racing clutch (on/off, lots of effort) and a Hurst short-throw shifter (lots of effort, stupid-short throws).
He killed it probably 75 times in the 90 minutes I forced him to putt around in town. I just about busted a gut when I told him to take a road that had a stop sign atop the hill.
