History and profile[]
Idun was published between 1887 and 1963.[2][3] It was founded by and C. E. Gernandt.[2] The subtitle of the magazine was “A Practical Weekly Magazine for Women and the Home”.[2]
Idun focused on literature and gender equality. Several poems were also published in the magazine.[4]
The magazine merged with Vecko-Journalen in 1963. The merged magazine was published weekly under the double-barrelled name Idun-Veckojournalen. In 1980, falling circulation figures forced it to a monthly cycle, and it was renamed (meaning "Monthly Record" in English). The magazine ceased publication in 2002.
