Phil Neville's side had gone behind after 16 from a controversial penalty.
Marta went down from a strong Lucy Bronze challenge, with England thinking the tackle was perfectly time.
The referee pointed to the spot and Andressa Alves slotted home with ease.
In the World Cup in France, there will be VAR, and Phil Neville said he wasn't concerned about the seemingly incorrect decision.
Soon after the break Ellen White levelled from a tight angle, latching on to a through-ball from Fran Kirby and even though she was off balance she managed to find the bottom corner for her fifth goal in the competition.
England dominated until Mead's winner, shooting from the right hand side, a position from which you would normally see crosses delivered, but looking at the way she hit it, she meant for it to be goal-bound, and that it was, hitting the far side of the net.
The Manchester United 1999 treble winner has now won 8 out of his 13 matches in the year since he took the job with the women's national team.
His side's second-half showing will give them confidence for tough games against World Cup holders USA and Japan, who are in their group at France 2019.
In the first match for the other two teams, it was a 2-2 draw between USA and Japan.
