Welcome Amy. 
I didn't take off learning until I found the right one for me which is a Taylor 314ce,  let's go-hold-up-a-bank kinda price, for sure. But the Taylor GS mini is much easier on the budget, round 500 I think, and has a big sound and smaller neck size. If you're wanting cheaper, consider a Recording King, I think guitar center has them a little less than 200. They're also small and decent sound although not as good as the upper brands. 
I'll tack onto this about guitar strings. I've found that they also make a huge difference in helping me, cause I don't have man hands to work the fret like a farmer who plows the fields all day. It helps to have a smooth gliding string. I use Elixir lites and what a difference, like buttah. 
Best advice like others have said is to just go cozy up with a few and try em out. Once you find one, you could always troll Craigslist for a used one in good condition. A woman needs a good guitar, make it the best one you can get and make sure if 'feels' right!   :)
