Summary "It Pays to Smile" by Nina Wilcox Putnam is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to Freedom Talbot, a woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, breaking societal norms by seeking employment in a world that expects women to be primarily homemakers. Set against the backdrop of changing times, the narrative explores themes of independence, familial relationships, and adventure as Freedom steps out of her sheltered life and into one filled with unexpected opportunities. The opening of the novel presents Freedom as she reflects on her family’s prominent Boston lineage and her struggle to assert herself amidst her sister Euphemia's traditional views. During a dinner conversation, Freedom resolves to seek employment to alleviate their financial struggles, a bold step for a woman of her status. Soon after, she discovers an intriguing advertisement seeking a chaperone for a young girl, which leads to her decision to pursue this unusual opportunity. The stage is set for Freedom's adventures as she ventures out into the world, ready to embrace the opportunities—and challenges—that her new job may bring.
