In 1919 she began expressing her political views, and opposed the Béla Kun regime. She published a book, An Outlaw's Diary, about the events of the 1918–1919 revolution, protesting against the subsequent communist government and regretting the division of Hungary.
She is known for two novels (People of the Rocks (Emberek a kövek között), 1911; The Old House (A Régi ház), 1914) and five short stories. She was nominated for Nobel Prize in Literature twice: in 1936 and in 1937.
