Atticus Finch calls Mrs.Dubose a great lady because she is not afraid to speak the truth. Atticus can see that Mrs.Dubose will tell you what she thinks, and won't restrain herself in the least and that's why he thinks she is great, because she is different and doesn't have the typical obligations that everyone else did.
"She had her own view about things....... I wanted you to see something about her,I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand."
Atticus clearly respects that she has strong and clear views, and he also wanted to show his kids that a man with a gun in his hands ready to kill someone wasn't the only type of courage there was and that being a headstrong person and saying things as they to whoever and whenever also takes courage.
