http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122471461

The papers consist of a few pamphlets and essays, and fourteen diaries (1916-1942) by Wygal. There are also photographs, clippings, and the program of her memorial service. In her diaries, Wygal discussed race relations, current events, social justice, peace, philosophy and theology, including Marxism and the beliefs of Gandhi, Tillich, and Niebuhr. She chronicled her travels and work for the YWCA, office politics, and several intense friendships, including a long-term love relationship with another woman. Also included is one diary (1932) by Helen Elizabeth Price, apparently a lover of Wygal.
