A woman bard is unheard-of in Ancient Gaul – but when the mothers in Asterix and Obelix’s little village decide that besides being a terrible musician Cacofinix, the local bard and school teacher, is not educating their children properly, it’s Bravura they call in.
Then men of the village are horrified at first, but Bravura proves a useful ally in countering Julius Caesar’s secret weapon – the Roman leader has sent in a troop of female legionaries, relying on the chivalrous Gauls not to fight women. But Bravura has no such scruples, and together with Asterix thinks up a good idea. Even Cacofinix’s music comes into its own …
Feminists were beginning to find the Gaulish world very misogynous. So the author created a woman bard from Lutetia to come and shake the village up a bit. Asterix blows a fuse and Obelix is very discreet. The result is a well-structured story of our familiar heroes.
Asterix and the Secret Weapon was the first Asterix album to come out at the same in all European countries. To do this, Albert Uderzo, under the leadership of his daughter Sylvie, who joined Les Editions when Asterix and the Magic Carpet came out, stepped up the public relations. The results say it all – a performance worthy of a Hollywood production, and one that has been repeated for future albums.
