Good question, I was about to ask this myself.
Since I hate aluminum, and don't want to spend a lot of money, I'm looking at the Airborne Lancaster and the Titus HCR.
Both have a steeper seat angle and slacker head angle, which is a better design for small women.

I just like a smaller frame.

ok, thanks everyone, btw, can someone tell me if I get a FS bike, can I adjust the rear shock to make it harder/softer? thanks.

You have to look at what shock comes with the FS bike, that is what will decide what adjustments can be made. So simple answer would be yes, but you better check what shock comes with the bike and see what options it comes with to find out all the features it has.
