If you like Scott look at the CR1 It's not "women's specific" but I don't think the geo is all that different from the Contessa (check me on that) and it comes in different component groups (ie: you can get it cheaper!).

It comes in XS and XXS. At 4'11" (but with a longer torso than most women) I rode the XS CR1 quite happily with a slightly shorter stem than the stock one. Really nice bike.
