Despite more experienced and expert knowledge on the contrary, I think I'm definitely going to go with a M&P15-22 type rifle.
Took the woman shooting--she handled a Bersa .22LR pretty well, but had a hard time dumping 10 rounds in to Center-of-mass like I instructed. I had her shoot a M&P9FS, she put one round that nicked the bullseye, but then put it down and refused to shoot it anymore. Then, I had her shoot the .22LR AR15, which she really really liked.
Although it's sub-optimal for home defense, I think this will serve a three-fold purpose of (a) home defense when I'm away (b) familiarization with the AR15 family of rifles (c) comfort around firearms.
