The subject of the sentence is the pronoun itself--pronouns take the place of nouns. Example: "She walked to the store." "She" is the subject, because it is the subject pronoun. Compared to "Samantha walked to the store." which has no subject pronoun. Now, if the author was trying to say that Samantha walked to the store, but used "she" in place of "Samantha," Samantha is the antecedent of the pronoun "she". The antecedent is the word/person which the pronoun replaces.
