The longlist for the 2014 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction has been announced. The prize was formerly known as the Orange Prize. The list will next be reduced to six and a winner will be announced on June 4, 2014. The winner will receive a check for 30,000 pounds and a limited edition bronze called Bessie. This year's judges include Helen Fraser, Mary Beard, Denise Mina, Caitlin Moran and Sophie Raworth.

Helen Fraser, Chair of Judge, said in a statement, "The judges feel that this is a fantastic selection of books of the highest quality � intensely readable, gripping, intelligent and surprising - that you would want to press on your friends, and the judges have been doing just that. There was a great deal of talent and exciting writing in the books that were submitted this year and we hope that between now and the announcement of the shortlist on 7th April many readers will want to share the enjoyment we have had with these 20 terrific novels."
