There has been much speculation among anthropologists and paleoanthropologists that fertility cults based on a mother-goddess concept significantly predate the more structured religions which arose after the agricultural revolution and the consequent growth of stratified societies. The evidence for these concepts is slim. Do a search on matriarchal religion.
I have no idea if that constitutes "feminism."
Idealized people don't translate easily to the real world. SWAG on: Just because they worships the Earth Mother doesn't mean the men treated the women as equals. SWAG off.
