During the 1930s, Sweden went through several societal crisises. There was a labor market crisis and a population crisis that were also covered by a gender conflict. To address these crises, reforms were introduced around women in society. There was a great deal of political discussion about whether women should be able to live their lives as housewives, which led to the idea of housewives' holidays and holiday homes for working women. What was the political significance of the holiday home? Why did it come to an end in 1977? What remains of the legacy from Vadtorp? For whom and why was Vadtorp preserved? How can one interpret the association in relation to the gender system? Archive material has been used to be able to answer the survey. By closely reading the material and drawing connections to secondary sources, one has been able to answer these questions. The survey shows how the holiday home in Vadtorp should have had a political impact as the holiday home should have been one of the first holiday homes for working women. The woman became more equal to the man and Vadtorp was discontinued. It is possible to interpret how there was an underlying ideological idea in the dissolution of the holiday home.
