It sounds like you've gotten her started properly with the .22 -- it's the best way to learn!
I have to ask:
How hot of a round were you using in the .32? Is the recoil spring in good shape?
If she's shooting properly she shouldn't find the .32 much worse than a .22. Have you had her practice with the gun unloaded to learn to tighten her arm muscles -- especially in the wrist -- and just moving her trigger finger to pull the trigger? Is she leaning forward into the direction she's shooting?
With the proper stance and good muscle control, I would think she should have no complaints with the 1903.
