Ban Zhao
Wang Zhenyi died at the age of twenty-nine. There is no exact record of how she died. When she knew she was dying, she gave her works and manuscripts to her best friend, Madam Kuai (1763–1827 A.D.) who eventually passed them on to her nephew, Qian Yiji (1783–1850 A.D.), who was a famous scholar of the time. He compiled her work into "Shusuan Jiancun" or Simple Principles of Calculation. He described Wang Zhenyi as the "number one female scholar after Ban Zhao."
