just a thought,if you go with the 870 12 ga 26inch barrel and use a low base shell,later in life she can always up grade to a longer barrel,low base less kick..still a blast to shoot.no need to buy another shotgun in my op

I thought about that Rasbo.   I was still worried a 12 would beat her and then shed be afraid to shoot.   I figure she'll get a lot of experience under her belt with this 20, and then if she becomes a diehard duck hunter, her husband or Dad can buy her a bigger gun.   If not, the 20 will make for a good house protection gun for her.   One of the first things I did was have her shoot it at a couple different distances so she got the ramifications and understood what a shotgun can do.   The three inch holes it left in the plywood at close range (I shot those for her)  made an impression.
