A complete reading of the text, including all of the elements, shows that it is Israel.
There is no discernable reason to even be considering Mary in that context; a ‘literal’ reading there is impossible.

a ‘literal’ reading there is impossible Verse 5 shows the woman to be a physical mother of a son, and verse 10 shows the Son to be Christ. Nothing else contradicts that either.
