In 1932 de Valera became head of the government, and Sinéad de Valera started writing stories for children in both English and Irish. Though she kept to the background as far as public matters were concerned, Sinéad was a highly political person. Rumours differ, however, as to whether she was in fact more moderate or more radical than her husband. During her husband's fourteen years as President of Ireland she appeared in public on only very rare occasions. She wrote a book, Scealta Sí, which retold in her own words twelve traditional Irish stories.

She published new collections in 1930 (Morgonen), in 1933 (Strender), in 1936 (Lykkelege hender) and in 1945 (Tung tids tale).

After the war she wrote a youth novel and factual prose. She also wrote two memoirs of her life with Tarjei Vesaas: I Midtbøs bakkar (1974) and Båten om dagen (1976).

Louise Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun achieved an international reputation as a portraitist during her lifetime. She served as painter to Queen Marie Antoinette until the French Revolution forced her into an exile that lasted 12 years. Having escaped with her daughter to Italy, she continued to receive commissions as she traveled and was warmly welcomed in Europe's major capitals. Vigee-Lebrun was introduced to painting by her father, a pastel portraitist who recognized her talent and supported her training. In 1783 she was admitted to the Academie Royale. Her style of portraiture catches her sitters looking alert; they are generally placed within their typical surroundings. For example, Marie Antoinette and Her Children (1787, Versailles Palace) is set in a room of the palace, and the painter in Hubert Robert (1788, Louvre, Paris) is seen at work, holding his palette and brushes. According to her own memoirs, Vigee-Lebrun painted about 900 works, of which more than 200 were landscapes and the remainder mainly portraits.
