Self defense options for women?

I'm 22M and my ex 21F is currently living in Iowa.  We are on good terms so we talk fairly often and she's constantly coming to me upset about the person or people who perved on her that day.

She's had a rough life and doesn't have a great functional family so right now she's forced to live with a much older relative who she was very close to until he also told her he had feelings for her, so now she can't even trust him.

She is probably about 5'6" and 140lb, she's always been a pretty fit girl with some good muscle but I've suggested multiple times that she gets a weapon of some kind, whether pepper spray, a taser, or whatever. 

But today after hearing her talk about being creeped on by a customer and stared at by some older male coworkers, I straightup told her to go online and figure out what she wanted for self defense and I'd send her the money for it. 

But I realized afterwards that I want to help make sure she makes the best choice on what to buy. So I'd really appreciate all the tips I can get about what's most reliable, what's most effective, what's easy to use, the pros and cons of different types of self defense weapons, etc.  I just really want to make sure this girl is safe.

Thanks

PS: We've had two or three very brief conversations about her getting a gun and I don't know her exact thoughts on it but I don't think she feels fully comfortable carrying a lethal firearm.  That being said, I will talk to her about if getting a gun is out of the question, but if she's willing to get one, then I'll be doing much more research than just a reddit post to help her decide on one
