There are, as far as I know, NO women-specific OTP fixed/ss bikes on the market, at least not in the UK.
Obviously it's all bollocks because women don't have a specific geometry but it still sucks because it makes it seem even more blokey than it already is. Road bike women specific is usually shorter top tube, shorter stem, shallower/narrower bars to compensate for women on the whole (not in every case, I know) having a shorter torso/arms and longer legs. Easiest quick fix solution is get her to buy whatever fits her nice and if the top feels too long switch to a shorter stem.
