I don't meet any of the above criteria, but I do have a lot of firearms mentioned in this thread. The Keltec P32 isn't a gun; it's a bullet-throwing noise-maker that's useful at 3 feet. It is safe to say unless an aggressive woman trains with it every day for six months that she'll pull it and not be able to engage a target that isn't already on top of her. 21 foot rule applies big time. The S&W Airweight J-frame .38 Spec is an ideal carry gun for many petite women due to weight, size, ease of use (revolver) versus stopping power. Women that aren't as dainty often like the Glock because it's so simple. If the criteria was small size over weight, guns like the flip-barrel Berettas enter.
The Ruger LCP is a popular and provides decent stopping power. Not a bad choice. I don't own one so I'm not going to comment on its guts. The Keltec .380 it is often compared to isn't a bad gun but certainly isn't comfortable to shoot. And manipulating that tiny magazine and slide under stress? Good luck with the training.
A S&W J-frame .22 LR 8-shot with jazzed up ammo (CCI Quikshok) would be a better choice than all of the above if this person is unable or unwilling to use a larger gun.
