STI's and WSD bikes

For women that have small hands, do they make STI's smaller? The Dura Ace 7900 are huge.

Specialized has an insert that brings in the lever. Just go to a specialized dealer and try it out a Ruby. They are cheap.

Don't those have an adjustable reach?
My old (2004) Ultegra levers have a shim in them to make them "women specific" but I think even Ultegra has gone away from that.

SRAM Red and the newer Rival (black) have adjustable reach
Shimano R700 come with shims like the Specialized rubber deals and I think the blades are a tad smaller.
The bars you use can help make the reach less as well.
Salsa Poco and the 3T ErgoNova is also a great help for this.
