[Avodah] Publishing Pictures of Women

[Prof. Levine]

This week's Jewish Press contains 4 letters to the editor about 
publishing pictures of women under the heading Faceless for Purim I, 
II, III, and IV. The letters are at 
http://www.jewishpress.com/pageroute.do/47789  and were written in 
response to two articles that appeared last week and the week before 
in the Jewish Press.  The first article by  Rachel Bluth may be read 
at http://www.stevens.edu/golem/llevine/faceless_3_11_11.pdf and the 
second by Ziona Greenwald at http://www.jewishpress.com/pageroute.do/47677 .

In his letter to the editor under Faceless for Purim II  Boruch 
Fenner writes, "I can easily understand why many individuals feel 
this is wrong, as it seems to signal that girls are second-class 
citizens. What eludes me is why these writers think it is a matter of 
popular opinion and not psak halacha."

Can anyone tell me who has paskened that one is not allowed to 
publish tznius pictures of women and where these piskei halacha can be found?
