woman of the world
Worldly, experienced female
A woman of the world is one who has broad experience of life and society—sophisticated, worldly-wise, and not easily shocked.
The phrase suggests familiarity with social conventions, romantic matters, and human nature: As a woman of the world, she understood what was really going on between them.
It often implies practical wisdom gained through experience rather than innocence.
