Having married a carpenter, had children and moved to Sauðárkrók before the Second World War, she resumed writing and her first book was finally published in 1946.
In her sixties, she became prolific, bringing out a book a year on average, including poetry collections.Her best known work is the epic novel Dalalíf, published in several volumes and completed in 1952.

Her books were immensely popular until the 1960s, when Icelandic culture and the Icelandic language became unfashionable, but enjoyed a resurgence in the last decade of her life.
