I totally understand. I tried to convince her that off body carry is a bad idea. I gave her all the reasons. Basically, she said it's too hard for her to carry with the different things she has to wear on her body, and it's too uncomfortable, so she wants to carry in her purse. When she makes a decision, it's hard to change her mind.
Basically, it came down to purse carry, or no carry. Purse carry seemed the better option to me. But if she can find a holster made for women by women, she might find a couple options that will work for her.
