Just received my pistol permit. I am female and need something small and concealable. All the guys at the gun range I've started going to recommend the p365 9mm. However, I don't think there's a safety on it, and I'm a little hesitant to carry something without a safety.
Whatever you get, please carry it on your body. It can be harder to get to in a purse. A belly band is a great way for women to conceal if you like to wear dresses, etc.
Regardless of where you carry it, please carry it in a holster to prevent NDs (negligent discharge).
I carry an HK P30 LEM. It's a full size pistol (probably too big for you) but it is a safety-less hammer fired pistol. I've carried various LEM guns (HK 45c LEM and HK P30sk LEM) and never had a problem. Personally I prefer a hammer so that I have a physical hammer that I can ride going into the holster to prevent an ND. With striker fired pistols (P365), you just need to be careful of obstructions when reholstering.
here is the belly band i have and can recommend. more importantly, daddy 'hey its james again from tfb tv' also vouches for it. very nice for carrying without a belt

I would really appreciate some advice.
