The SP 101 has the weight that is needed to help with recoil.I'd suggest getting her up to speed with it,since you already have it,starting with milder loads,working on DA trigger control,and move up gradually to a good performing short barrel load.
The first thing a gun shop employee wants to show a female is an airweight J frame. Wrong move for a novice. Even I would choose an SP101 over any J frame.
These guns are thoroughly vetted,and have been in production for a long time. No problems.
If she is timid with the gun it is importamt to be patient with her.Explain calmly that the gun will not hurt her and try to get her to understand that it is an inanimate object that cannot control her,but she can control it.
Try to convince her(calmly) that with time and practice it will become easier and even fun as she inproves.
