Question: Was British barrister and detective story writer Sarah Caudwell or American writer Laurie Colwin known for her portrayals of New York society and food columns?
Context: Laurie Colwin (June 14, 1944 – October 24, 1992) was an American writer who wrote five novels, three collections of short stories and two volumes of essays and recipes.  She was known for her portrayals of New York society and her food columns in Gourmet magazine. Luisa Battistati was an Italian 19th century woman who is recorded in American writer Sarah Josepha Hale’s "Sketches of all distinguished women" (1853) as a heroine of the insurrection against Austrian rule that had taken place in Lombardy known as the Five Days of Milan.  The revolt took place during the period 18–22 March 1848 and was successful in expelling the Austrian garrison, commanded by Josef Radetzky, from the city.  Radetzky would re-enter Milan on 6 August of that year, however, and Austria remained in control of the city until 1859. The New Woman was a feminist ideal that emerged in the late nineteenth century and had a profound influence on feminism well into the twentieth century.  The term "New Woman" was coined by writer Sarah Grand in her article "The New Aspect of the Woman Question," published in the "North American Review" in March 1894.  The term was further popularized by British-American writer Henry James, to describe the growth in the number of feminist, educated, independent career women in Europe and the United States.  Independence was not simply a matter of the mind: it also involved physical changes in activity and dress, as activities such as bicycling expanded women's ability to engage with a broader more active world.  The New Woman pushed the limits set by male-dominated society, especially as modeled in the plays of Norwegian Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906). Edward Sidney Aarons (1916 – June 16, 1975) was an American writer who authored more than 80 novels from 1936 until 1975.  One of these was under the pseudonym "Paul Ayres" (Dead Heat), and 30 were written using the name "Edward Ronns".  He also wrote numerous stories for detective magazines such as "Detective Story Magazine" and "Scarab". More Fire!  Productions was a women's theatre collective active in New York City from 1980 to 1988.  It was founded by Robin Epstein and Dorothy Cantwell and based in the East Village section of lower Manhattan, New York City.  More Fire!  Productions created and produced eight full-length plays between 1980 and 1988, becoming known as "one of the city's leading women's theatre groups" for its contributions to the downtown, experimental theatre and women's and lesbian theatre scenes of the 1980s.  Epstein and Cantwell co-wrote, produced, and performed in the company's first three plays: "As the Burger Broils" (1980), "The Exorcism of Cheryl" (1981), and "Junk Love" (1981), which had numerous runs and became a neighborhood cult classic, "the longest running show on Avenue A." Epstein then wrote and produced "The Godmother" (1983).  Novelist and writer Sarah Schulman joined the company in 1983 and collaborated on the writing and performing of three later plays: "Art Failures" (1983), "Whining and Dining" (1984), and "Epstein on the Beach" (1985).  The final play, "Beyond Bedlam" (1987), was written and produced by Epstein, who was the only person involved in all More Fire!  plays. Helen Evans Brown (1904–1964) was an American chef and cookbook writer.  She was a nationally known expert and wrote regular food columns, as well as collecting cookbooks from other authors.  She was known as the authority on the west coast food scene of the 1950s and 1960s.  She was one of the first chefs to advocate using fresh produce and promoting California cuisine. Summer is a novel by Edith Wharton published in 1917 by Charles Scribner's Sons.  The story is one of only two novels to be set in New England by Wharton, who was best known for her portrayals of upper-class New York society.  The novel details the sexual awakening of its protagonist, Charity Royall, and her cruel treatment by the father of her child, and shares many plot similarities with Wharton's better-known novel, "Ethan Frome".  Only moderately well received when originally published, "Summer" has had a resurgence in critical popularity since the 1960s. Sarah Caudwell was the pseudonym of Sarah Cockburn (27 May 1939 – 28 January 2000), a British barrister and writer of detective stories. Lawrence Goldtree Blochman (February 17, 1900 – January 1975) was an American detective story writer and translator. Etta Angell Wheeler (June 14, 1834 - December 5, 1921) was the rescuer and advocate of Mary Ellen Wilson, whose infamous abuse story led to the creation of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.  Wheeler was also influential in the society’s creation because she convinced future founder of the society, Henry Bergh, who at the time was founder of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to take on the issue and spearhead the case.
