It depends on your definition of "easier"- with lower gears, you will feel less resistance on the pedals, but you'll either have to turn them faster to maintain the same speed, or just slow down, meaning that you will be going uphill for a longer time. It's a trade-off, and you just have to decide which one you'd rather have. Most women opt for the lower/slower route.

It will make it closer to what it used to be like on the triple-chainring Giant you had before. Not identical but closer.
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
