I realize you said she needed to get a revolver, but you did reference pistols, so I'll assume a pistol is acceptable also. I think the Glock 19, or lock 26 would be good choices. Along those same lines in an alloy frame, I suggest looking at a S&W 3913 LS, or S&W CS9 ... both are 9mm. These are pretty small handguns ( 6-7/8" & 24.8 oz. and 6-1/4" & 20 oz.respectively). I think it certainly depends upon her hand size.The 9mm I consider much like a .38 +P.
If you really must have a revolver, I would certainly look at the 442, 442LS (though 15 oz. might be a point of contention ... depends upon the little lady) the S&W 638 looks much along the same lines, size and weight.
Those seem decent choices for the smaller, not as macho, of the species, but then who knows, a S&W 325PD in .45 ACP might be just the revolver for her (7-1/4" & 21.5 oz.).
Good luck in her search ....et us know what she picks.
