Whichever she chooses herself after firing a selection at the gun range. Load a single round and fire until she gets the hang of control.
Or a Ruger LCR in .327 loaded with .32 H&R. .32 S&W or ACP for practice. I haven't actually shot the ACP, so.

A revolver is simple in whatever caliber she handles well.
If that is a 22lr that should be it. I don't recall ever seeing any articles where someone was raped or assaulted with a couple of freshly planted 22 slugs in their chest.

J frame smiths are some of the hardest pistols to Master, even for an experienced shooter. Double action is hell on wheels to master accurately for the J frame, and I carried one for 8 years with the trigger tricked out by the Smith custom shop. 95g Silver tips made by Winchester is dead nuts point of aim for the model 60.
Women have one heck of a time with a 9-12 lb trigger as their fingers are not as strong as a man, and they just jerk the heck out of the trigger.
My wife has done much better with a Taurus Compact 9mm, 12 shots, very easy for her to shoot, accurately. The new Springfield Hellcat in 9mm would also be a great option, with it's fantastic trigger. Very true Glock 42 [img] https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.Jj4A...=3.1&cb=&w=300&h=300&p=0[/img]

Airweight 642
.38/.38 spec
Simple, goes bang
Gets some crimson trace on it i got one each for my wife and daughter. the one called "Ladysmith" has a smoother trigger out of the box. they both benefited from a lot of dry firing.
My diploma is a DD214

Just that, for self-defense. Have the last shoot a bunch and decide what she likes.

Be hard to beat. If they go with the revolver, S&W offers a 3” Model 60 version with adjustable sights that might be easier to teach a novice lady to shoot with. I’d recommend 38 special full Wadcutters for the carry load in the revolvers. The Buffalo Boar Outdoorsmen Load offers good penetration and low recoil. A set of Crimson Trace Laser Grips would also be a good add on for the revolver

I would recommend the .44 mag desert eagle over the 50AE desert eagle for a woman.
Put it in a really sturdy purse.
Whip that mofo out and stick it right in a mooks face!!!!
9mm pistol with a 3.5 to 4 inch barrel like many have already said.

my wife has small hands, but wanted a semi auto that she could work the slide. we tried about 7 or 8 at the LGS. Walther PK380. perfect fit, easy slide spring. reliable.
if you're married to a revolver that airweight is good, we ended up getting 2 of those last year with the crimson trace because the LGS was running a sale, $299 IIRC
