So my question is, would this woman be able to enter into a modeling contract on her own? If not, wouldn’t her guardian be exploiting her without her understanding?

If she is able to make informed decisions and consent to things like entering into a modeling contract then awesome and clearly I need to do more homework on the subject.

Short answer is that it varies and it is possible that she might be independent enough to manage standard employment mostly on her own.
