thanks Ken
Millions of women all over the world have driven our beloved small Datsuns for over thirty five years without the need for brake boosters, yet they survived, & so did most of the cars. Driving technique plays an important role in this & learning to back off the throttle at the right time is a good start.
My wifes 1000 with "improved" 1200 ran unboosted drums, as did my 1000 sedan with warm 1200GX & five speed. Neither car was crashed in a period of ownership covering twenty five years.
My mother in law drove a stock Datsun 1000 for years without needing a brake booster, & my 1200 ute survived in both drum & disk braked form too.
By all means fit a booster, but if your wife's driving skill is the best excuse you can find, then teaching her to drive will save some money & effort.
