Did you know that Winnie Cooper from Wonder Years is good at math? For moms who have
kids with math anxiety:
Winnie Cooper (real name: Danica McKellar) has just written a math book and not only is she extremely smart, but her hair is still really long and shiny too. For many men between 30-40, Winnie was the ideal crush. She was soft-spoken, sweet and literally the girl next door -- wholesome hormonal inspiration for teenage boys. The Wonder Years was so great, they should study that set to find out how not to screw up child actors. (And on a bigger note, why have 90s female stars – Alicia Silverstone, Mayim Bialik – become advocates for emerging parenting practices? It’s not a bad thing, but it’s interesting.)
Danica’s new book (her fourth) is called Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape. Yes, her FOURTH math book. An excerpt from Amazon: “master the core concepts of high school geometry, including congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, proofs, theorems, and more!” God just reading this gives me heart palpitations.

but I'm not sure how may of them have been hugely successful. Jessica Alba and Gwyenth Paltrow come to mind. They either write about parenting or they write children's books or they start a product line because they just couldn't find the products they wanted for their little snowflakes.
Not many write math books!
