"In 1991, she was coeditor with Martha Schleifer of a 12-volume reference, Women Composers: Music through the Ages. She finished the project before her death. Eight volumes have been published by Boston-based Gale Group. The four remaining volumes are still to be published."

The foundation is still operated by Glickman's family. She died in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
