If you are lucky there might be a youth's option in the lines you are looking at - this gives a shorter butt length which could fit better. But for my observation, there's a couple of things for slighter built ladies in shooting - first is the trigger pull length (used to be with your arm bent 90 deg at the elbow, and the butt against your forearm the trigger finger should sit nicely on the trigger). For ladies, they often feel the cold and end up wearing bulkier/warmer clothing so could go to a shorter butt over the old measure trick to allow for this. The other is often (but not always) ladies will have a longer neck relative to a male shooter, meaning they can find a stock that has more drop more comfortable as they aren't trying to crane their head down and over. I think a lot of the youth stocks tend to be straighter in the comb.
