you would be right, but the social construct of a line is one of managed movement. stand right behind the person in front of you, moving forward every time they adjust their standing position so you're breathing down their neck the entirety of the queue? wrong. Stand there while a gap enough to fit 10 people opens in front of you? also wrong.
in the first scenario you're making the person in front of you uncomfortable, in the second scenario you're making the people behind you frustrated at the lack of movement.
you're in a walking queue, if walking is inconvenient for you to such a degree that you can't move forward with the pace of the line, then an accommodation such as a wheelchair, a luggage carrier, or checking in elsewhere should be arranged by you.
she IS in the wrong.
