Women in that society could inherit and own property in their own right, could divorce a husband without cause (in which event, any property she brought into the marriage with her left with her), could have her husband fined for mistreating her, and was allowed a voice and a vote in clan decisions.

I'm not sure if that counts as 'feminism' in the current  pejorative sense, but it is leaps and bounds ahead of how women are treated in some modern societies.

I'm asking if there was any feminist movement. Feminism is a movement, right?

Then the answer is "no."  Small, highly-isolated groups of hunter-gatherers would have no capability to sustain a "movement."
