yay, I found it!
I think I found the book I was looking for in my previous post through persistent tinkering with my google search terms and scanning of the results that came up.
I'm not 100% certain because I can't find a picture of the German edition cover for me to recognize, nor any longer excerpts or detailed summaries for a final confirmation, but the title of the German translation sounds very familiar, the publisher and publishing date fits with my memory, and the brief summaries I have found online fit with what I recall. So I think the feminist historical fantasy novel set in ancient Mesopotamia that I was looking for is The Last Warrior Queen by Mary Mackey. It was first published in 1983. The German title is Kornmond und Dattelwein, published by Fischer in their series "Bibliothek der phantastischen Abenteuer".
