Any form of rebellion in the society of 1984 is definitely significant, because it is putting your own life and sanity at risk. In their society, people are so very closely watched and analyzed that rebellion, whether in rule only or against the entire system, is a life-threatening risk. Julia knows this, and yet rebels against the system anyway. She has spent quite a bit of time rebelling against it, and it has improved her quality of life while she has. Unfortunately, getting caught will mean the end of any form of independent living or thought whatsoever. Yet, it is still worth the risk to her.
So, because of this, I don't find her rebellion insignificant. Anything that one endeavors to do at the risk of your life is not a light-hearted, flippant thing. Julia, although maybe not rebelling against an entire system, sure has a hatred for all that system does, and risks her rebellion at the cost of great sacrifice. I hope that those thoughts helped; good luck!
