MYSELF I would strongly recommend a revolver for the simplicity.
And IN MY OPINION the best advice has been given in saying have her shoot some different calibers to see what she would be most comfortable with practicing because that is where she will fire the most rounds. Determine the caliber she is comfortable with and then she can feel different manufacturers offerings in the chosen caliber as well as what grips she likes.
I suspect it will come to a .38, and again I BELIEVE you should stay away from a snubnose. Maybe a 4" barrel?
