If she has no real background in golf, my suggestion would be to hand her a club (or a bat or something) and ask her to take some air swings. Forget about hitting a ball, just which side feels more natural to her. Then go with that side. It's not a slam dunk that it'll be lefty -- I'm right handed, batted baseball lefty, hockey lefty, golf righty.
Like Scott said, lefty equipment isn't as hard to find as it used to be. There were a lot of lefties in the ladies US Am.
