1911 did women make a stand?

I have be lead to believe that women refused to be recorded on census night 1911 as a protest to not having the vote by being 'out' when the recorders came round. Has anyone else have anything to substantiate this. It will explain why my female relatives were missing from the records.
Thanks

thankyou. I did not know about this so I will stop wondering why my relatives are not on the list.

What a fascinating document! None of "my" known females seem to have been missing in 1911, and I must admit I'd not realised it could be more than a handful actually boycotting the census. Thank you - yet again I've learned something via RootsForum.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
