Solution
James Hargreaves invented spinning jenny in 1764. This machine speeded up the spinning process and reduced labour demand. By turning one single wheel a worker could set in motion a number of spindles and spin several threads at the same time.
Women opposed because the introduction of machimne would bring in cutting out of manual labours. The fear of loosing employment compelled women to raise their voices.
