The lack of women's and girls' pics in frum magazines (and even worse, the blurred faces pics) is a pet peeve of mine, so I was delighted to discover that there are a few magazines starting up that do print these pics:
A kids' magazine, Tmunah Jr, started online as pdf downloads, now in print:
https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref.....LCOBJ
And a new monthly women's digest, Nashim Magazine, for now online only:

(Truth in advertising: I have taken out an ad for my business in Nashim's next issue to support this fledgling publication but I have no connection to it)

Wow, this is very good news!

I'm genuinely curious why having no pictures of women bothers you so much. It has never bothered me for one minute.

According to their website they hope to "eventually get... to print!"

• It makes many women feel like non-entities, like we don't exist. The even worse practice of blurring faces while leaving the bodies alone sexualizes girls — the very opposite of what it's intended to accomplish. What kind of message are we trying to send to our daughters — and to our sons?
• We (and our daughters and sons and husbands) see gorgeous zexy non-Jewish (or non-frum) women on the covers of the magazines on display at the local pharmacy while frum women don't exist in publications where their tzanua pictures could present good role models.
• The no-women-pics policy in magazines targeted to frum women is particularly appalling — a man who can't handle it shouldn't be reading them in the first place.
• When I read a biographical article I like to see a pic of the person, male or female. it gives me a better sense of them.
• I also view this as creeping radicalism: I-Am-Frummer-Than-Thou syndrome. This was not normative practice even a few decades ago — the Agudah-sponsored Jewish Observer (now defunct) did print pictures of women.

Also, readers who enjoy the magazines, please show your love with an amazon review. Reviews give products a feeling of authenticity and encourage sales, and are also very helpful for search rankings.
