Julia is the name of a fictional character from George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Her last name is never given in the novel.
According to herself, Julia was born in 1958 in Oceania, the superstate combining North America, South America, Southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom (renamed Airstrip One). Her knowledge of events before the Revolution is inaccurate as her grandfather, the only close source to her with that knowledge, disappeared when she was eight. Julia integrated herself into the daily life of Oceania early, becoming an especially zealous propagandist for the Junior Anti-Sex League, the Two Minutes Hate, and Community Centres. However, this behaviour served as cover for Julia to become a sexually promiscuous rebel. She had her first affair with a Party member at the age of sixteen.
Julia first appears in Nineteen Eighty-Four at the age of twenty-six, an enthusiastic participant in the Two Minutes Hate directed against Emmanuel Goldstein, a Party co-founder who claims the Revolution was betrayed. Winston Smith, a fellow worker in the Ministry of Truth, is both excited and disgusted by Julia's fervor and has fantasies of raping
