Idun (magazine)
Idun was a Swedish magazine published in Sweden from 1887 to 1963. It was named after the goddess Idun, who appears with her basket of apples on its masthead.
History and profile
Idun was published between 1887[1] and 1963. It was founded by Frithiof Hellberg and C. E. Gernandt.[1] The subtitle of the magazine was “A Practical Weekly Magazine for Women and the Home”.[1]
Idun focused on literature and gender equality. Several poems were also published in the magazine.[2]
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 Månadsjournalen (meaning "Monthly Record" in English). The magazine ceased publication in 2002.
