A Woman of a Certain Age

The French expression is femmes d'une certaine age.   Originally coined to describe women in their 40's, it has morphed to mean older women as our concept of "middle age" has expanded.   What should today's accomplished women call themselves later in life to  recognize achievements, to acknowledge a life time of experience, to look toward the future?   We are women of a certain age.
