    I have found the Oceanic Mini Shadow to be an excellent fit (my much more expensive atomic mask is now in my pocket on backup duty) and have seen several experienced female divers use them with good results. It comes in clear and black versions. Mine is the clear version and after more than 100 dives it is working perfectly, if a bit yellowed

    +1 the Cressi Lince. I am very petite, this mask is designed for smaller faces and women in particular, I read about it in a Cressi catalogue and just because of the write up and photos I ordered one i was so impressed. I've had mine 4 years now and it is the best mask i've owned. you won't be sorry if you get her one! it has been described as a smaller version of the popular Cressi Big eyes mask.

    Try the Mares x vision MID - same front but skirt sized for smaller faces. I think they have it in the new softer silicon skirt as well which may be of additional help. (sorry didn't see Nemrod's post - like he said)

    LP has them for about $55.

    I 2nd the mini shadow. Nice fit, low volume, good field of vision and reasonably priced. What else do you need.
