== Early life and education ==
On November 1, 1848, she was born Caroline Virginia Still, the oldest daughter of Letitia and William Still in Philadelphia.〔 Sources disagree as to her mother's name; she has been called both Letitia and Lucy.〔 Her parents were both leaders in the American abolitionist movement; her father led the Philadelphia branch of the Underground Railroad beginning shortly after Caroline's birth.〔 As a child, she attended Mrs. Gordon's Private School, The Friends' Raspberry Alley School, and the Institute for Coloured Youth (now Cheney State College). Though these schools were costly, her father's lucrative coal industry position allowed him to afford a good education for his daughter. He believed very strongly in the value of education for his daughters and encouraged Caroline to pursue her education seriously. She finished her primary and secondary education at 16, whereupon she matriculated at Oberlin College, the only black student in her class. She earned her degree at 19, the youngest student in her graduating class.〔 After receiving her Bachelor of Arts, she was elected the first black president of the Ladies' Literary Society of Oberlin.〔
Still married her first husband, Edward A. Wiley, an Oberlin alum and former slave, in a ceremony that took place at the Still home on December 28, 1869. The wedding was attended by many luminaries of the U.S. antislavery movement, and included a performance by Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield.〔 Two years after her first husband's death, in 1875, Still matriculated at the Howard University College of Medicine, though she earned her Doctor of Medicine degree at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, where she transferred in 1876 and graduated in 1878. Of her class of 17, two were black.〔 While in school, she worked as a drawing and speech teacher to pay her way.〔
