She founded, managed and published the monthly women's magazine Framsókn, in collaboration with her daughter Ingibjörg Skaptadóttir, between 1895 and 1899. The magazine was the first women's magazine in Iceland, placed focus on women's access to education and encouraged women to demand and use their rights.
