20g ammo is dearer? A heavier gun will have less recoil, take the other half to a ground that has a shop and try a load of different guns. I believe beretta do an ultra light but again a lighter gun will carry more recoil so maybe try 24g / 21g loads

My adult daughter tried an ultralight and it kicked like a mule!
I got a silver pigeon and cut a lump off the stock to shorten it!
I also have a supply of Hull Comp X 21g loads for her to use in it.

Ok 2 composite OU I know of, browning cynergy (available in pink) and hatsan silver select both 12g only, Winchester do a laminate stock select. Issue with plastic stocks, much harder to adjust than a timber stock, well balanced 12 bore 21g carts are the answer,

Heed the advice.
An appropriate 12g, probably a Beretta, possibly shorter barrels and stock cut to length, then 24g or 21g cartridges A MUCH better idea than a 20g. Other than that, a Semi.
The Browning Cynergy is widely accepted as being the worst gun they ever made....but some people like them, which is fair enough.
The MOST important thing, is making the gun FIT her.
This Winchester, in appropriate barrel length would be ideal, as you can adjust the comb and cut a lump off the stock.

They do do it in 28 inch as well, have a look on Guntrader. The adjustable comb will be very useful. But you MUST make it fit her. This will likely mean stock length adjustment, possibly pitch adjustment.
You could also go for a recoil reducer (ISIS2 by recoil systems) which will bring the recoil down to almost nothing. But that can be done any time.
You may need to add some weight in the stock, after you adjust the length, to get the balance right.

Winchester do an ultralight action as light as the lightest out there but be warned less weight = more recoil.... Balance is the key and importantly balanced when fitted so reduced stock length often pushes balance forward which makes it feel heavier....
I tried several 20g over the years and all kicked like hell to be honest, mainly due to a lack of weight. As has been said previously, reasonable weight 12g and 21grm ammo is likely to be the best option. A good gun shop should be able to advise her as to what is available, but stick with the well known makes, in case she changes her mind after a while, at least you will be able to get shot of it easily!
