Early Life
Bari was raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, the daughter of mathematician Ruth Aaronson Bari and diamond setter Arthur Bari. The elder Baris were political left-wingers actively for civil rights and opposed to the Vietnam War. One of Judi Bari's sisters was New York Times science journalist Gina Kolata; the other a housewife. Her father was of Italian descent and her mother was Jewish. Although she attended the University of Maryland for five years, she dropped out without graduating. She admitted that her college career was most notable for "anti-Vietnam War rioting".

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“[My early stories] are the work of a living writer whom I know in a sense, but can never meet.”

“For, as it is dislocation and detachment from the life of God, that makes things ugly, the poet, who re-attaches things to nature and the Whole,—re-attaching even artificial things, and violations of nature, to nature, by a deeper insight,—disposes very easily of the most disagreeable facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
