Rachelle Slobodinsky Yarros (May 18, 1869 – March 17, 1946) was an American physician who supported the use of birth control and the social hygiene movement.

A graduate of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, Yarros resided at Hull House for many years and opened the second birth control clinic in the nation there.

Late in life, she left Chicago for Florida and then California, dying of heart problems in San Diego.

[2] Joining a subversive political organization when she was 13, Slobodinsky found herself gaining attention from Czarist police when she was 17, and her parents gave her enough money to escape to the United States.

A young woman had become pregnant and had been abandoned by her fiancé, and she was afraid of the ramifications that pregnancy would have for her career as a business supervisor.

With the encouragement of Margaret Sanger, Yarros opened a birth control clinic at Hull House.

The clinic, which provided married females with diaphragms, faced criticism from Chicago's health commissioner, Herman N. Bundesen.

Compounding the problem, as people realized that American soldiers were returning from World War I infected with syphilis, they were focused on emphasizing sex education for white men.

"Experiences of a Lecturer", one such speech that was delivered to the ASHA membership in 1918, was later published in the journal Social Hygiene.

[2] Her obituary quoted a passage from an unpublished autobiography, which said that "the enlightened, socially minded doctor will sympathize with labor, with victims of exploitation and industrial autocracy, with the juvenile and adult delinquents who are the products of slums and blighted, ugly, depressing districts.
