Idun (magazine)
Idun was a Swedish magazine published in Sweden from 1887 to 1963.[1] 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[2] and 1963. It was founded by Frithiof Hellberg 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.[3]
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.
