Yes to the suggestions to get her checked and also spay her.
Aggression may not necessarily be vicious but rather reaction to the scary situation she encountered. It can be dealt with through consistent and regular training (with treats to start) - you might try the Fenzi Dog Academy online classes (they have a great class for retraining reactive dogs). But regardless you need to be more aware of her surroundings and not put her in a situation that may be scary to her or at least get her attention back on you (treats) when you can't avoid the situation.
We love our basenji

Our family recently adopted a BRAT basenji. He is so special to us and we love him like we can't believe! I have been reading this forum and have to smile and laugh out loud at the things posted. Our baby is just a normal basenji and so many things your dogs do remind me of Jonny B. In fact, we love him so much we are looking to get him a brother or sister to pal with. Of course our 10 year old son is THRILLED. He calls Jonny B. his brother. Thank you for such a wonderful place to learn more about our pal.

Welcome Jonny B and family. Great story.
My daughter was 11 when she got her first basenji and she still refers to him as her brother. (She's 22 now) Only child syndrome?? Probably.
