Catherine “Cathy” Gorman and Marjorie Moskol, two early members of the Rhode Island Women’s Association (RIWA) and the Organization of Rhode Island Older Les Energy (ORIOLES), discuss the genesis of the two notable organizations that emerged from the feminist and lesbian movements of the 1970s and 1980s.
