Several of the woman had guns that their husbands had given them the previous Christmas. Half of those with their own guns did not like them and ended up trading for another.
Let your wife choose. You'll both be happier. 
BTW, when I said "women only" that is absolute. Husbands, boyfriends, fathers, neighbors, cannot be anywhere near the range when they train.

Precisely.
Giving a woman what she wants and can shoot well is infinitely better than giving her what you think she should carry, and letting it collect dust in a drawer at home.
OTOH, I have seen many women who could shoot an auto well enough, but did not have the strength to pull the slide back to lock or load it.
Take her to a range with rentals, let her pick and shoot several, and let her have what she wants.
