It is quite limited for power compared to many other options out there. Since handguns are rather underpowered self defense devices anyhow you really want as much punch as you can shoot accurately. If that is a .32 then so be it; but she should look at a .38 or 9mm as what is considered to be the minimum for self defense cartridges.
I have an eleven year old sister that can handle a Colt Gov't .45 better than some of the gangbanger types I see; the key is getting a large gun in an intermediate caliber, whether auto or revolver.
