  I don't think we got an explicit answer — it's left for us to come to our own conclusions.I think the most common suggestions here have been that she's a family member or someone else we've met before, whether the Doctor's mother or a regenerated Susan, or Leela, Romana, Ace or any of the others that ended up on Gallifrey.

  According to RTD's book, The Writer's Tale, the idea was for it to be the Doctor's mother. But as it was never explained on screen who it was, then it is entirely open to conjecture.
  
  Unless a future writer decides to explore who she is. But that's doubtful...

  I remember listening to RTD talking about that episode on radio Seven (Four Extra these days). He said "of course it's his mother!". but he was quick to add that he deliberately didn't say so in the script so that people could make up their own minds. To him it's his mother, but he's happy for viewers to think what they like. I like to think of her as "random do gooder".
