Banning moved back to Duluth and worked as a social center director and playground supervisor for the city for a year. She married Archibald T. Banning, Jr., a Duluth lawyer, in 1914 and the couple moved overseas. During World War I, her husband was working in Europe while Banning stayed in London, where she worked part time for the Red Cross and began work on her first novel. After a year, she moved back to the United States and spent a summer in New York with her children, tutoring with Viola Roseboro, a former editor of McClure's Magazine.
Banning published her first novel, This Marrying, in 1920 after it was bought by George H. Doran. Her book was initially advertised alongside works by Stephen Vincent Benet and Elisabeth Sanxay Holding. She was guided in the literary world by Eugene Saxton of Harper & Brothers and Carl Brandt, a literary agent.
She wrote thirty-nine books as well as over 400 short stories and personal essays, many of which were published in magazines such as Good Housekeeping, McCall’s, Ladies’ Home Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Bazaar, and Reader’s Digest. Her work covered issues of social and moral importance, including race relations, birth control, and mixed religion marriages. She continued to keep her husband's name for her writing, even after their divorce in 1930. Banning's last novel, Such Interesting People, was published in 1979. One of her best known books was Letters to Susan (1936), which was a collection of letters addressed to college women which covered topics such as "drinking, petting, and early marriage".
Banning was a popular public speaker on women's issues and other civic topics. She was a member of the British Information Service in World War II. She travelled to England after World War II to study women's social conditions and then worked in refugee camps in Austria and Germany.
