Julia Stiles: Personal
Stiles was born in New York City, the eldest of the three children (two daughters and a son) of John O'Hara, a teacher and businessman, and Judith Stiles, a potter. She attended a Quaker school in Manhattan and is (as of 2005) an English major at Columbia University in New York City, though she has several times interrupted her studies to pursue her film career. Stiles is a Democrat who supported John Kerry's candidacy for President of the United States

The actress has described herself as a feminist and wrote on the subject in The Guardian. "Ironically, the F word is now pejorative in the mainstream because it is seen to represent a woman's renunciation of her femininity. It's an issue many women struggle with today - including female studio executives. After Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, women of my generation have not employed self-censorship, but rather we challenge the notion that being a feminist is in opposition to being feminine."
