Pride & Prejudice
(the context of this paper-cut is the recent arrest of a woman wearing a tallit at the kotel) Rav Ovadiah Yosef has been quoted as saying "they should be wrapped in a tallit and buried" - hence the shroud in the bottom.
The quote from the Rema seems to be one of the earliest main objections to women wearing a tallit. It is permitted, with a bracha, but then disallowed due to yohora - religious arrogance. So I have included various haughty women who are grooming themselves. The underlying attitude being that women would only want to wear a tallit as a form of cosmetic adornment.
(And in the background of the lacework, there are tangled tzitzit. Which I will never ever do again as a paper-cut.)
