There's a bit of Freudian imagery along with the feminist theme in this song. "I'll only lie down by the waterside at night" - not only is she chosing where she "lies", but watersides, rivers, valleys and other bodies of water are Freudian yonic images, representing the vulva. Meanwhile, "You will never make me learn to lay beneath the mountain" - she'll never be tamed by him, plus mountain = phallic imagery.
