Gleser was originally from St. Louis, Missouri. She studied mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1935 and earning a master's degree in 1936. Although she was working towards a doctorate in mathematics, she interrupted her studies to marry a civil engineer, and later switched to psychology, completing a Ph.D. at Washington University in 1950.[1][2]
Gleser began part-time work at the University of Cincinnati in 1956, and in 1964 became a full professor of psychiatry and psychology. She was director of the university's psychology division beginning in 1967, and chief outpatient psychologist at Cincinnati General Hospital from 1968 to 1972. Glesner was also a visiting professor at Stanford University and Macquarie University.[3]
In 1974, Gleser was elected as a fellow of the American Statistical Association.[4] She was also a fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, a trustee of the Psychometric Society, and president of the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology for 1977–1978.[1]
