This additional, nearby marker appears to have once been the base of a bust. The marker text does not mention who the 'heroine' was. It reads:

A una gran heroína y a todas las mujeres que en la Reforma y en la Revolucion de Mexico escribieron con su sangre los ideales plasmados en la Constitucion.

English translation:
To a great heroine and to all of the women, who in the Reform Wars and the Mexican Revolution wrote with their blood the ideals embedded in the Constitution.
