"The Foolish Virgin" by Thomas Dixon is a story about a young woman named Mary Adams struggling with old-fashioned beliefs about love and womanhood as she navigates a changing society. Mary's friend Jane pushes her to try new things, but Mary resists, holding tight to her traditional views. As Mary goes through her life in New York City, her loneliness grows, and she begins to see how her views of women's roles don't match up with what is really happening around her. The early part of the story shows her innocence as a "foolish virgin," hinting at future clashes between her romantic ideas and the real world.
