The pronoun in the Hebrew, hu can be translated either as "it" or "he", both of which refer back to the "seed". It does not and cannot be translated as "she". That the "seed" is prophetic and culminates in Christ is undeniable which comparing Scripture with Scripture bears out, e.g., Matt 23:33; Jh 8:44; 1 Jn 3:8. The woman, and especially any notion of Mary is totally excluded from any consideration in this text.
