Not for the meek or women (at least most women) I have the
S&W 357 and it's a hand full on it's own. The good thing about it is that you can also shoot regular 38 special shells with it and they are somewhat cheaper.

I’ve used a S&W 357 to shoot .38 special and that’s not difficult to shoot at all. The 357 would be a good revolver to “share” between a male and a female. On the other hand, I wouldn’t shoot the .44 magnum on a bet, although I am sure some women would.
