When you choose a backpack make sure your read all the information carefully. I suggest for a couple of months a backpack of maximum 60 liters because in the end you have to carry it a lot of times. I chose the Thule 60 liter backpack that is especially created for women. So it fits perfectly around my hips, waist and breast.
