Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage (2015) is a memoir by Barney Frank, who represented Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 2013 and was among the first members of Congress to come out as gay. Frank recounts his career from the 1960s onward, including his work on civil rights and housing and the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. He also writes candidly about hiding his sexuality for years and about the changing politics of the country.
