Guitars are made for people with fingers. (The preceding sentence doesn't make much sense after eggman edited it.) Because of the amazingly vast shape in people's hands (By that I mean from long skinny fingers to short fat fingers, palm size, etc) people don't just make a guitar fit for certain people unless you're a celebrity paying someone to make a guitar just for you. Now that I've got my other personality's thoughts vented, onto your actual question. there is no answer to what you should have other than what you want. I'd suggest going to a music shop, check out some prices here and there but mainly strum around on a few and get an idea of how they feel and sound in comparison to what you like (beware as better feel and sound basically means bigger price).

Having done that I'd say goto an online store (www.musiciansfriend.com has been good to me) and check out prices on the gear you were looking at, compare it to what they have, etc, and make your decision based on what you think is best for you. Also, music is only really totally dominated in the "world of fame" so to speak. If you look around in the houses of people in your neighborhood/city and so forth, you'd be surprised at how many female guitarists there are out there, let alone female musicians. It's getting to the point where I know more female guitarists than I do male...not that that really means much of anything by now in my rant. If you're still reading this it's too late. This message will self destruct in T-minus 71 hours 42 minutes and 21 seconds. Boom. Some day I'll shut up.
