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.
