Gillian Duffy, the voter Gordon Brown called a "bigoted woman", says she and her family have been lifelong Labour supporters.
She told the Prime Minister her father had even sung the traditional socialist song "The Red Flag" when he was a teenager.
The 65-year-old is a widow whose husband died of cancer four years ago.
She worked for the local council in Rochdale for 30 years, working with handicapped children.
Among the topics she raised with Mr Brown was immigration, complaining about the number of people from Eastern Europe now living in the country.
Mrs Duffy also complained about people on benefits.
Speaking about her two grandchildren she said she was concerned about how they would be able to afford to go to university when they are older.
Towards the end of their conversation, Mr Brown told Mrs Duffy "you're a very good woman, you've served your community all your life".
Later, caught on microphone in the car after their meeting, he described her as "bigoted".
