Before you take a female friend/whatever out to shop for a gun do her a favor and let her get some time behind one of your semiautos. Not even shooting time. Put some snap caps in it and let her rack the slide a few times. If she is serious about it, let her do it until she can't do it any more. Repeat the next night, or if she really wore herself out, a couple nights later. After 3 or 4 sessions, she should be able to easily manipulate it. She will learn a technique that works for her while training her muscles to work together to perform the action. And she will get some raw strength in the deal.
Simply tell her it is so she can get used to it before she goes into the store so she won't be embarrassed if she can't do it. Surprisingly, simple truths work better sometimes than you may expect. Worked for my wife. She did it a few times until she could rack anything. And chose a revolver.
She still shoots semis occasionally, and is still proud that she can do it.
