Something no one mentioned was that is she of small stature and can she handle the recoil of a slug gun?
Take a look at the 20ga over the 12ga for this reason. I am a Cert. Firearms Instructor for the agency I work for and handle many weapons within my job spectrum and work with women as well. We have to qualify with shotguns and many complain about the recoil and many come to me on advice of a weapon for themselves or wives. I let them shoot my wifes Rem 11-87 Premier 20ga with Cantilever barrel and Nikon scope and at 100yds it will hold with most and slug on the market. I as well have a Mossberg 500 Trophy Slugster with dual comb in 20ga, ported barrel and it shoots great as well. My son has taken 11 deer with it and I have taken 8, one at a lasered 167yds one shot drop.
