I accidentally watched this movie thinking it was "The Girl Said No" (1930). I was too deep into it before I realized it wasn't a movie from 1930 at all.
In this folly a woman named Dorinda Hatch (Joan Caufield) wrote a book titled "The Lady Says No," with the idea being that she is advising other women to say no to men. It's never made clear what she advises women to say no about except the whole idea of being with men.
You know that a movie with the title of "The Lady Says No" means that you're going to have a lady saying yes by the end. Furthermore, you know that she only needs to meet "that" guy and she'd be saying "yes, yes, yes."
The guy in the equation was Bill Shelby (David Niven), a photojournalist for Life magazine. He traveled to Monterey, California to do a spread on Dorinda. After photographing Dorinda he blackmailed her into kissing him. That kiss was all it took and suddenly Dorinda's whole perspective changed. It wasn't that Dorinda was principled, she was just a virgin. If principled virgins were kissed by the right man they'd no longer be principled virgins. It was a paltry premise that didn't deliver.
