"The Miss America Organization shares my passion for the advancement of women in the STEM fields and celebrates smart, strong women- exactly aligning with the messages in my math books aimed at empowering young women," said Danica. "I am proud to be part of the show and an organization that is such a huge advocate for education."

Danica McKellar, best known as "Winnie Cooper" on "The Wonder Years" and from her roles in hit shows like "The West Wing," "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory," is also the New York Times bestselling author of Math Doesn't Suck, Kiss My Math, Hot X: Algebra Exposed, and Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape.
