PPK of those listed
Sig 232, for all reasons others have named, if it's one she has not looked at yet
neither is all that heavy, and purses come in all sizes, put as much thought into purse selection as gun selection
either should be checked for slide bite syndrome before purchase
agree w/ others, cocked and locked in purse not a good notion
disagree with DAO only and/or talking her into a compact nine, UNLESS she shoots it first and likes it
shootability trumps caliber, and too light (as in LCP) is not shooter friendly, "size matters"
locked breech is softer shooting, but not a lot out there to pick from in locked breech 380s, and locked breech does not make up for 12 oz too light

Texas Bill's wife, smart lady
not just another pretty face
but I thunk the PPK was a straight blowback, not locked breech ???
whoops, ok, got it, PK380 Walther, locked breech
