I'm for buying her the AK. Find one that's cheap and nab it. I'm partial to Saiga conversions, myself.
x39 should be fine once she's used to it, but if you're really concerned about recoil, get a .223, toss in a recoil buffer (great change on my x39!), throw on a stock with a rubber buttpad, and thread the barrel for a '74-style brake. It'll be nice and tame.
Or maybe you can find a Golani, which I've sort of been eyeing.
