In addition to her real estate ventures, beginning in the 1950s, Griffith became a vocal supporter of repealing the [[Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|16th Amendment]], which authorized income tax.<ref name=richter /> Over the ensuing decade, she gave approximately 500 speeches on the subject.<ref>{{cite news|work=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|location=Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/37025346/the_philadelphia_inquirer/|title=Film Star Leads War on Income Tax|date=November 17, 1960|page=60|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> Commenting on her dedication to the topic, she stated: "We have no substitute of other taxes because we have no substitute for waste, graft and corruption. If the federal government will eliminate only part of its waste, just 40 billions of dollars a year of its waste...&nbsp; I can prove to you in dollars and cents that the government does not need the income tax."<ref name=tax /> Griffith also spoke in support of women seeking their own financial autonomy: "I got my money without the help of any man. Women wise enough to earn their own money will get a broader understanding of life, a new respect from their husbands and a bank account which they can use without resorting to the old tricks that sicken every wife at heart."<ref name=nyt />

Griffith was also an accomplished writer who published eleven books, including two best-sellers, ''My Life with the Redskins'' (1947), and the memoir ''Papa's Delicate Condition'' (1952), which chronicled her upbringing and family life in Texarkana.{{sfn|Slide|2010|p=169}} Her third publication, 1955's ''Eggs I Have Known'', was a recipe book with gossipy anecdotes interspersed.<ref name=wfpp /> In 1958, Griffith divorced Marshall (who she referred to in print as "The Marshall ''without'' a plan").<ref name=wfpp /> In 1960, she was honored for her contributions to the motion picture industry with a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] at 1560 Vine Street.
