Dave's advice is, as usual, right on the mark. Beg, borrow, rent as many different guns as you can to determine what she likes.
When I went through this with my spouse, I learned she didn't like heavy guns but recoil wasn't the problem she had originally feared. Even though lighter guns will seem to kick more with shells of equal power, most women I know prefer a lighter gun.
The semi has a lot to recommend it unless you intend to reload (It's a pain chasing hulls and some clubs won't allow you to pick up hulls off the ground.) The Remington 1100 and the Beretta A391 are personal favorites but the Browning Gold is also worth a look. Don't worry about a 2-3/4" chamber. Most guns are coming with 3" these days but will handle the shorter shells without problem. If the gun doesn't come with a choke specifically market "skeet" a cylinder or improved cylinder will do just as well.
