While she grew up with a love for theater due to her parents, she actually went to Oxford University and got a degree in archaeology and anthropology. That being said, she did act while in school, with For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf being the first show she directed and performed in.

She Helped Found Shethority
In 2018, Maisie helped found Shethority, along with fellow Arrowverse actresses Caity Lotz and Candice Patton. Shethority is an online collective focused on building a community that challenges itself, empowers others, and works to reclaim the female experience. “Shethority is a place of diversity in terms of sexuality as well as ethnicity; diversity all around,” Maisie explained in a previous interview.
