Dowager is a term that refers to a widow who holds a title or property that belonged to her deceased husband.
For example:
* Dowager Duchess - A woman who was the Duchess of a certain territory because she was married to the Duke. She retains the title even after her husband's death.
* Dowager Queen - A woman who was married to a king and retains the title of Queen even after her husband's death.
The term "dowager" is often used in connection with nobility and royalty, but it can also be used more generally to refer to any widow who holds a title or property inherited from her deceased husband.
