Henkin, Yehuda-Herzl
"Contemporary Tseni'ut," Henkin, Yehuda-Herzl. Tradition, 37:3, 2003, 1-48.
Synopsis: In this essay R. Henkin examines the key Talmudic sugyot and halakhot regarding modesty, and tries to clarify this area of halakha that relates to modesty in dress and behavior, particularly as relating to women. Issues such as women’s head and hair covering and (men) hearing a woman’s voice are addressed, bringing many insights, but for the questioning reader, raising many questions as well. For the reader who wishes to understand these issues well and who wishes to make intelligent, educated decisions about her practice by studying the sugyot herself, this article is an excellent starting point.

Ross, Tamar
"Can the Female Voice Contribute to Halakhic Discourse? Kol b'Isha Erva as Test Case," Ross, Tamar. JOFA 6th International Conference. 2007.
Synopsis: In recent years, women have published several studies that take a feminist perspective on the development of halakhic issues. While these studies appear under the guise of academic objectivity, it is also clear that they strive, by means of legal or historic analysis, to influence the nature of p'sak regarding concrete areas of concern to women. Examining issues relating to kol isha, this session will demonstrate the potential of feminist insight and women?s voices in a broader metaphoric sense to enhance or supplement current halakhic considerations in a manner that is more oblique yet at the same time more profound in its implications for women's status in halakha at large.
