Rosa Dubovsky (née Chanovska; Ukrainian: Роза Дубовська; 9 January 1885 – 1 June 1972) was a Ukrainian-Argentine anarchist-feminist activist. Born in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, she and her husband fled the country after the Revolution of 1905. They moved to Argentina, where Dubovsky joined the Argentine anarchist movement and established anarchist women's groups, including the Emma Goldman Women's Library. A hatmaker and upholsterer by trade, she joined the Argentine Regional Workers' Federation (FORA) and organised working women at factories.
