Answer:
The most direct cause of the development of factories in Manchester (the first industrial city in the world), was the invention of the spinning jenny by James Hargreaves, and the invention of the water frame by Richard Arkwright.
These two inventions made the production of cloth from cotton a lot of faster and easier. Shortly after, these two inventors founded factories in Manchester, and hired people from the countryside.
From this moment on, the industry boomed, and Manchester became the first industrial city in the world, effectively starting the Industrial Revolution.
That is a description in a novel by John Updike who genuinely believed that Men were inherently better than peeing because men didn't have "mazes" inside of their bodies and could just pee at will. That's a description of how women are complicated even when peeing, and it's not satirical.
In many cases women are still expected to do it all. They are expected to take on the role of mother, domestic keeper, and career woman. In some cases there are not equal opportunities for women. The career ladder women are forced to climb is not always equal to that of their male counterparts. However, as we have seen in women such as Margaret Thatcher and Indra Nooyi, many women are able to overcome these challenges.
