Yes, it is. See:

>>> from numarray import strings
>>> strings.array(["asd", "aa"])
CharArray(['asd', 'aa'])
>>> a=strings.array(["asd", "aa"])
>>> a[1]
'aa'
>>> a.raw()[1]   # If you want to get *all* spaces and nulls in strings
'aa '

This is undocumented in the manual, but it's quite well described in the doc
strings:

>>> help(strings.array)

Cheers,
