Other Work
In addition to book illustration, Wright Enright was a magazine illustrator and cover artist, working mostly for women's magazines like McClure's and the Ladies' Home Journal. She also designed Christmas cards and did various and miscellaneous sorts of artwork. In her memoir Tales of Taliesin, Cornelia Brierley recalls Maginel, "full of fun and very sophisticated," spending summers with her daughter Elizabeth ("Bitsy") at her brother's establishment at Taliesin, designing and making "yarn paintings" that she later sold in New York.
After her divorce from Enright, she married lawyer Hiram Barney. Her autobiography, The Valley of the God-Almighty Joneses, was published in 1965, one year before her death in East Hampton, New York.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
““The work is done,” grown old he thought,
“According to my boyish plan;
Let the fools rage, I swerved in nought,
Something to perfection brought;”
But louder sang that ghost “What then?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The lady—bearer of this—says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at it, if possible. Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
