If you handload, you can go bigger from the start.
Don't assume that women have to shoot small calibers.
For example, you can start her on a 30-06 with 180 grain bullets at 2300 fps. Perceived recoil may be a lot less than a 308 shooting factory ammo. A 300 Win Mag can be loaded to 2400fps with 150gr bullets, which is much less than a factory 308.
As she gains confidence, you can up the load.
