There was something indomitable about Maria — like Britannia. He’d heard that she kept her head during a Chilean earthquake the year before when men of greater age and experience had panicked. Afterwards she was discovered calmly taking notes, recording the way the land hand risen, for publication, she said. Sara Sheridan
About This Quote

Maria was a woman who was indomitable. Her strength, determination and will power can be compared to that of the Goddess of the Britons, Britannia. She rose above the challenges that she faced by believing that she could overcome them. These challenges were not something that she would just sit back and let happen.

She went through them to prove her point. Her actions show us that even though the world may be broken, it can be fixed or fixed again.
