Okay. I'm gonna wait since the damn bank machine ate my card and they won't give me one back.
Guess it was Fate.
Gonna need some recommendations for a good gun for home defense for both sexes but easy enough to be handled by a woman.
Penetrating walls is a concern.
Not really looking to spend more than 500$

If it's not for CC I'd get a smith or Ruger with a 4"-6" barrel in .38 or.357

A full sized revolver in .357magnum.
Ruger GP100 or smith and wesson 686+ are hands down the best handgun options.
A 20 gauge 870 full of buckshot is the best option.

Why?
If you're set on getting revolver, the GP100 is the way to go, its a little over the $500 price range, I believe closer to $650.
The lady smith by S&W isn't a bad option either. But because it's pretty small, it kicks harder, which tends to scare women about guns the most.
Either way, take her to shoot whatever you decide on, often. The more comfortable she gets shooting it, she will get less "scared" of it.

Bapple provided a pretty good summary of home defense handguns for women. I'd still consider a FULL SIZE revolver in 38 Spec, especially if she has problems catching on to the operation of a semi-auto when you go shoot w/ her.
Actually the BEST (i.e. most effective) home defense gun is a shotgun. If a woman may be called upon to handle it, I'd look at a "youth" model. Mossberg makes a nice youth model pump action 20 gauge shotgun that I bought for my daugter when she moved into her first apartment that was situated in a "declining" part of town. I too was concerned about excessive penetration to nearby apartments so I bought her some #4 shot. When the topic of home defense shotguns comes up the natural inclination is to immediately think of a 12 g "tactical" model, but that doesn't have to be the case. I've not checked lately, but the Mossberg I referenced will cost less than $350 new; it also makes a light and compact squirrel hunting shotgun.
