This is not Dixon's best work. Initially it seems that it will grapple with the subject of women entering the workforce. Through the prism of Dixon's reactionary Southern conservatism, this would've been interesting, but that's not what happens. Instead the plot focuses on a Southern girl in New York falling in love with a man who turns out to not be so decent. All of Thomas Dixon Jr.'s works fall somewhere on a sliding scale between social/historical criticism and romantic melodrama. The Foolish Virgin is almost all the latter.
