Lot of patronising from guys here, on the Womens sub-Forum, "Were you using a proper pump dear?", "did you undo the small knurled nut at the top of the Presta valve darlin'?", "Is the bore of your pump small enough babe?", "Heff you tried usink ein Cherman pumpen such es ein SKS Rennkompressor mien liebchen?", "My 6 month old daughter does this every day, sweetheart".
I don't know the answer to this, is there a pump which gives better mechanical advantage? We have and use Rennkompressors, Joe Blows. The ones at LMNH seem easy in operation, let's try them with decreasingly small people: Kate is a willing guinea pig.
