Re: Graves on Kroeger, 'The Suffragents: How Women Used Men to Get the Vote'
Although Kroeger's book is the only one to focus in entirety on men, esp. the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage, two other books from 2017, have chapters where they situate the topic in larger studies of suffrage in New York (2017 marked the 100th anniversary of suffrage referendum passing in NY).

Gilded Suffragists: The New York Socialites who Fought for Women's Right to Vote by Johanna Neuman--by a former journalist (so well written). @JohannaWriter
