I have a student looking for mentor movies with women and this is one of the few I can think of. Mary teaches this patriarchal family how to know love and joy, then departs, as all mentors must. All of this is couched in the midst of the Edwardian suffrage movement in England. There are several mentor movies where girls serve as mentors - Bridge to Terabitha, My Girl - still I don't know why there aren't more. Mary Poppins is a great mentor movie with a strong woman lead.
