Why not get her something like a M&P 22 or S&W K frame 22 revolver to work on those skills while learning to shoot. There is not reason to go from never shot to daily CCW in 2 weeks.

Too many people jump too quick to CCW or having something for HD.

Personally, I like the idea of developing and ingraining some serious handling and shooting skills before carrying daily.

So, yea, I think starting with a 22 of choice is best. I think she can learn the finese ways to work a guns trigger or action to get over your strength concerns. PM me if you are stumped on these and I can help.

Also, since we are talking guns, women generally prefer smaller guns. IMO, a Kahr 9mm, Glock 19 or S&W 3" K frame 38 spcl would be great choices.
