Slide racking effort should not be a serious deciding factor for any moderately healthy person.
Again, read this: RACK THE SLIDE
It is NOT a strength issue, unless she has some sort of degenerative condition, serious arthritis, or other physical handicap that limits her ability to perform the proper technique.
Griping the slide as most new shooters tend to, yes physical strength will seem to be the limiting factor, but that's poor technique. If she learns to do it right, it won't be an issue.
If my little 12-year-old gal can do it with confidence, so can your adult wife.
