Glocks have 3 safeties. Only the trigger safety is externally visible.
Women don't need smaller guns. Just like men, they need guns that are comfortable in their hands and lethal. My wife for example has decided that the glock 17 is right for her. She likes the 19 fine as well, but according to her... "Why would I want a pistol that hold less ammo?"
I've seen a couple of women at IDPA matches tearing it up with full sized 1911s.
My suggestion would be a major caliber striker fired polymer framed service pistol. Light, simple to use, effective. 9mm, because its cheaper to practice with. Practicing with it is probably more important than what caliber or make you choose.
That means: Glock 17 or 19, Springfield XD 9mm, Walther P99, S&W M&P 9, etc. find one that feels comfy in her hands, and make sure she swaps the backstraps.
