She grew up in Massachusetts and was involved in the political movements of the 1960s and 1970s, including the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Liberation Movement and protests against the Vietnam War. After earning her degree, she became a teacher, married, divorced, and became an activist in the LGBT and environmental movements. She was one of the founders of the women's studies program at Salem State College and its first coordinator. Gozemba served on the Coordinating Council of the National Women's Studies Association from 1979 to 1982 and was president for 1988 and 1989. Many of her works aimed to recover the history of the LGBT community in and around Boston. Involved in the fight for the legalization of same-sex marriages, she campaigned in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Hawaii. She was the co-author of Courting Equality, a history of Massachusetts' path to legalizing same-sex marriage and several works aimed at documenting lesbian history of women before the feminist movement.
