Idun was founded by newspaper man 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 was one of the first women's magazines in Sweden. Hellberg was the editor and publisher intil 1906. The weekly Idun was originally a "practical weekly for women and the home", covering practical domestic topics such as sewing and cooking. Its content later took on a more general character, with reportage, opinion pieces and extensive fictional features.^[4] Fashion was one of the topics covered, and Idun was one of the first weekly magazines to give fashion a more prominent place for the first time in a mixed publication. (Swedish fashion magazines had existed long for some time).^[5]

Idun focused on literature and gender equality. Several poems were also published in the magazine.^[6]

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.
