Diane Elam is a feminist writer, the author of Feminism and Deconstruction: Ms. en Abyme (1994),[1] Romancing the Postmodern (1992) and co-editor (with Robyn Wiegman) of Feminism Beside Itself (1995). A recurrent theme in her work is an argument against the possibility of a complete and definitive representation of woman.[2] Elam was also professor of English literature and critical and cultural theory at Cardiff University in Wales, at Indiana University in Bloomington, and at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Before his death in an airplane crash in 1994, she was married to fellow academic Bill Readings, a professor of Comparative Literature at the Université de Montréal.
