Idun was a Swedish magazine published in Sweden from 1887 to 1963.^[1][2][3] It was named after the goddess Idun, who appears with her basket of apples on its masthead.

History and profile[edit]

Idun was founded by Frithiof Hellberg [sv] and C. E. Gernandt in 1887.^[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 Åhlén & Åkerlunds's 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.
