At least with my wife, there’s no way I could have persuaded her to start with a bigger caliber handgun. In my experience, have to take women along in incremental steps.

Yes, I agree. We need to introduce new shooters incrementally, beginning with firearms that will not intimidate them. The .22 is the obvious place to start. It's not the end game, though, if one is serious about home protection.
