You also need a furminator!
It's like the second stage after brushing -- get her used to brushing first (really 90% of cats like it and will come right over when you hold up their brush once they learn how it feels) then start furminating.
Lots of cats like that too but it's a little less like a good petting and more like a good hard scratch.
However, it will help the shedding thing. It pulls out the shed undercoat. It's fascinating and terrifying. You'll furminate enough fur to build yourself several other cats but she won't look any different.

I use this one on my cat. It’s a little pricey but it’s really helped a lot
The FURminator it's around 25$.
I have one and seriously this is the best. If you have pets and still "try" to not having fur on you all the time this is the Shedding Tool you need.
Awwwwww. I just noticed your username! I feel the same way with two kitties that shed like it's going out of style. I have a Furminator that was recommended to me on Reddit by a professional cat groomer! That thing is seriously awesome!!!
You should get a FURminator de-shedding tool. I have a fluffy monster myself and don't know how I once lived without it
Try getting a de-furminator and brush him on a daily basis. They love that stuff and it helps with shedding as well. I have this one and it works wonders. I suggest buying it on Amazon because Petsmart will rip you off.
If this is what you're talking about that is 1000% a furminator. I have one and instantly recognized it.
Not a fail.
Long haired cats MUST be regularly groomed. Bring her to the vet or a groomer, buy a Furminator (make sure you get the long hair version, it's generally cheaper on Amazon than in pet stores), and begin brushing her regularly (but don't over-brush). And clip her claws, as well, that way she can't scratch you. Here's a good video on beginning to clip your cat's claws on your own.
If the cat is too stressed to be groomed, they can be sedated at the vet, and since she's fighting it I'd suggest the vet for now. But then regularly groom her coat and nails and get her used to it. You'll probably have to supplement with professional grooming.
My family's long hair cat had two completely different personalities between them figuring out you actually have to groom a long hair (this from a dad who has a cocker spaniel and gets her professionally groomed!) She used to be grumpy because mats HURT, now she's a cuddle bug.

The furminator is a god-send for long-haired cats. I’ve also heard good things about this.
Brush your cat, at least once a week, with one of these. Your cat will have a healthier coat and healthier skin, and love you for it.
Ok it's a little over your budget, but the FURminator is amazing at removing excess hair and my cat purrs while being brushed. You can get third party/knock offs closer to your budget, too.
What you really need is a Furminator.
