Is a small lady capable of shooting a 9mm or something larger?

Yes, depending on the lady. A woman who isn't afraid to put a strong grip on the gun and goes to the range for a little practice shouldn't have any problems with a 9mm or .40.

Take her to a gun shop that has their own range. They should have a couple of different caliber guns that she could test out so you can see how well she handles it.
