Summary "Advisory Ben: A Story" by E. V. Lucas is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Benita Staveley, nicknamed Ben, a practical and resilient young woman who finds herself navigating life after her father's remarriage and her own independence. The story explores themes of personal growth, service, and the dynamics of family relationships in a rapidly changing society. The opening of the story introduces Ben, a 22-year-old woman characterized by her decisive and proactive nature, in contrast to the more idle or reactive personalities around her. With her father recently remarried, Ben decides to leave home to establish herself as an independent woman, aiming to start a domestic agency called "The Beck and Call." The chapter details her ambition to provide varied services to clients, reflecting her resourcefulness and adaptability. As she discusses her plans with friends and family, we see the challenges she faces, including skepticism from her father and sisters about her unconventional career path, which sets the stage for her journey of self-discovery and the endeavors that lie ahead.
