The supposed existence of such societies in distant places and times is pretty much a myth concocted for ideological purposes.

That's a fairly strong claim, what is your source on that?

See for example this book excerpt from Cynthia Eller's The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory. There are plenty of other sources you'll find if you just google for the relevant terms.
