I'm late to the party, but figured I would chime in anyway.
As a short woman who shoots trap/skeet/sporting clays, I love the over unders & side by sides.
I have a winchester 23 with 28 barrels, and a Browning WSSF which was made for women. The downside is that Browning discontinued the line. (personally, if they did not make the majority of them TEAL colored, they would have sold more
).
Here is an article on it: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3197/is_/ai_16467218
I am not bothered by the recoil, and shoot a 12ga. Some women do have issues with recoil, but not as many as you would think. I would ask the wife what gauge she prefers.
Both of those guns are priced slightly higher than other models, but for me its worth the money, as I enjoy the guns.
I do also have a remington 1100, which I also like, but seldom use on the field. Husband took the barrels down for home defense (men just don't have a clue hahaha).
I found my WSSF at Dawsons Doubles, and was very satisfied......its also NOT teal colored.
hope that helps.
