She is the author of a dozen plays, seven novels, two biographies and a collection of articles she originally wrote for a women's magazine.
She is married to the former Icelandic Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, who was the first openly lesbian head of government in modern history. They were one of the first same-sex couples in Iceland to get married (in 2010, shortly after the law took effect, and while Jóhanna was in office); and until 2015, Jónína was the only modern person to have been the same-sex spouse of a sitting head of government (Belgium's Elio Di Rupo has never been married, while Luxembourg's Xavier Bettel was unable to legally marry until January 1, 2015).
She has now written a book about her relationship with the former prime minister.
She has a BA in English and Literature from the University of Iceland.
