female ancestor

Usage Note

Antecesora is the feminine form of antecesor; both mean someone who held a position or role before the current person. In professional contexts — politics, academia, business — it refers to the person one has succeeded (mi antecesora en el cargo, 'my predecessor in the post'). In a broader genealogical sense it can mean female ancestor. English uses 'predecessor' for both genders, so the grammatical distinction is worth noting.

Examples

"Su antecesora dejó un gran legado."

Natural Translation

Her predecessor left a great legacy.
