No, Virginia Woolf was not the first woman selected to edit the Oxford literary magazine. Dorothy L. Sayers was the first woman to become the editor of the Oxford literary magazine, Oxford Poetry, in 1917. Virginia Woolf's involvement with literary magazines was mainly with the Hogarth Press, which she co-founded with her husband Leonard Woolf.
Woolf's 1931 novel The Waves plays with some of the techniques that Eliot developed (with the important editing of Ezra Pound) in The Waste Land (1922), published in one of its versions by the Hogarth Press, run by Virginia and Leonard Woolf. Virginia Woolf actually hand-set the type of The Waste Land. See Molly Hite's introduction to The Waves (Harcourt 2006, Mark Hussey series editor)
The Hogarth Press was co-founded by Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard Woolf. They published works by notable writers like T.S. Eliot, Vita Sackville-West, E.M. Forster, and Katherine Mansfield. The press also published Virginia Woolf's own work, including her critically acclaimed novel "Mrs. Dalloway."
