Danica McKellar Who played Winnie on the 1990s television show The Wonder Years is releasing a book to encourage girls to get into math called Math Doesn’t Suck.

The 32 year old Danica told Newsweek that when girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, they think that being fun and glamorous also means being dumb and irresponsible, but I want to show them that being smart is cool, she said. “Being good at math is cool. And not only that, it can help them get what they want out of life.”

The book includes tips to avoid mistakes on homework, ways to overcome test-day anxiety and profiles of three beautiful mathematicians.

Danica said that “want to tell girls that cute and dumb isn’t as good as cute and smart,”


She's gorgeous and smart!!
