Her father, meanwhile, continued to insist on a domestic future for her, and he tried to arrange for her to be married at the age of fifteen. They fought about the issue constantly; he complained that she was becoming a "loose" woman, and she insisted that she would marry for love alone.[20] At the corset shop, she was forced to fend off unwelcome advances from Russian officers and other men. One persistent suitor took her into a hotel room and committed what Goldman called "violent contact";[21] two biographers call it rape.[20][22] She was stunned by the experience, overcome by "shock at the discovery that the contact between man and woman could be so brutal and painful."[23] Goldman felt that the encounter forever soured her interactions with men.[23]
