As others have stated, without knowing her level of experience, it is hard to make a recommendation.
Still, other options to look at:
Sig 232 - one of the 'prettiest' handguns ever made. A bit weak on the caliber (.380ACP), but if she is inexperienced, that may be a better choice.
Sig 239 - slightly larger than the 232, and with a more typical handgun look. Available in two primary versions; one that is 9mm, and another than can be used with either .40S&W or .357Sig (the .40 and .357 barrels are interchangeable in the same frame).
H&K P7 - the P7 series are the best defensive handguns ever made, in my not-so-humble opinion. They are safer than any other handgun (even safer than the Glock), they are ridiculously accurate, and there is
nothing to mess around with in order to go from 'safe' to 'deadly' - the cocking lever in the grip automatically deactivates the main safety and cocks the striker, when you grip the gun naturally (there is also a trigger disconnect, which prevents the gun from firing, even if the cocking lever was taped in, and the gun was dropped). When you release the grip, the safety automatically re-engages, and the striker decocks, rendering it 'safe' again. And, it
always has a single-action trigger pull (since the grip cocks it instead of the trigger), so it is very easy to shoot accurately.
The P7M8 (American magazine release) or P7PSP (European magazine release) have 8-round single-stack magazines, and should fit most hands. The downside is the price - generally in the $700-1200 range, from what I've seen, depending on condition. (compared to the 232 at $350-550, and the 239 at $450-650)
As you can tell, I'm slightly biased towards the P7

. They are all good guns. She might fall in love with the 232 if she handles it - it really is a very nice little gun, and has a lot more 'style' than the others, which are much more utilitarian in nature. The 239 has the advantage of better calibers (just make sure to decide if you want the 9mm version, or the .357/.40 version, since they are not interchangeable), but is slightly larger in size.
The big thing is to take her to a gun shop and let her try various guns, to see what fits her hand best. There is no point in having the best gun in the world, if the grip is the wrong size/shape for her, and she cannot shoot it accurately.
