The #UpInArms idiom first appeared in the 1500s & most likely referred to arms, weapons & ammunition & someone being angry enough to grab a weapon.
For #BookedInTime Sept, we are reading WWII books & I chose this one, stacked in my #TBR about women in the Women‘sAir Raid Defense at Pearl Harbor whose job it was to track unidentified aircraft if the Pacific. The attack on Pearl Harbor had the US “up in arms” & joining in WWII.
Two fathers are #upinarms seeking revenge for the murder of their sons. 💔💔
I love this author!

The MC, Jane, sure gets "up in arms" when her library is threatened with closure.
