The paper examines the role of gender in overall income inequality. Using panel data on the entire Swedish population over the 2001–2017 period, I show a large and persistent gap in income between men and women. While lower- and middle-income individuals are more likely to be women, only one of six individuals in the top 1% is female. Hence, the income gap between men and women is an important but to-date overlooked dimension of income inequality.
