Mike,
That is great. My wife has two revolvers. The first one was an 8-shot S&W .22 for training and familiarization.
Then she decided to get a Taurus 5-shot .38 for carry and self-defense.
I was very active in competitive shooting and I suggested that she go to some matches to get familiar with reloading with speed loaders under pressure and firing from different positions like behind walls and from inside cars.
She went to about 4 or 5 IDPA matches with that gun. Obviously she wasn't winning any trophies, but it gave her great experience firing the gun at something besides bullseyes from a stationary position. She had great support from the other participants.
So I suggest it would be a great way for your daughter to get into active shooting that has some self-defense relation.
IDPA is great with new shooters. Most clubs will even assign an experienced shooter to guide newbies thru the scenarios and explain the rules and challenges of each stage. Participation fees at my club are just $10 and juniors shoot free. Give it at try. [and report back.]
