My wife has been hunting with me for over 24 years now and there is no better partener.  She shot her Bison using a 30-06, along with a couple moose and caribou.  Several years ago she decided that she needed/wanted a larger caliber.  She choose a Savage 116FSKS in 338 WM.  We had the stock cut down to fit her and with a good scope she often does better then me.  She is not but 5'01" and is not afraid of the 338 WM.  While at the range she uses a towel under her vest but in the field does not even notice the recoil.
Main thing is to find a caliber that she can handle, start off with light loads and work up from there.
Good luck and welcome to the club where husbands and wife's hunt together.
