I am however fairly certain that Joan is the only statute of a woman riding a horse in the District. There's also the Titanic Memorial and the statute on top of the Capitol, but neither is of a specific woman.

I believe, although I'd hardly stake my life on it, that this is the only stand-alone monument for a woman in the District. Obviously there are other statues of women -- Eleanor at the FDR Memorial and the statue honoring nurses down by Lincoln and the Vietnam Memorials -- but I can't think of any others that stand by themselves the way Joan does in Malcolm X Park.
