Countries represented include: Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Kenya, Netherlands, South Africa, United States, and Zambia. Professor Robert Morrell observed from South Africa, "In a world of polarisation, suspicion, and hostility, Dr. Kimball offers us the chance to occupy middle ground and talk about difficult gender stuff, a great job in putting the two sides (and more) of the debates in ways that promote discussion rather than polarise".
