Here's the English version of the abstract:

The popular novel aimed at the female audience, as a paraliterature product and transfigured in best-seller, occupies an important place in Spanish culture. This article offers a look at the consumption and the critique of the sentimental novel in Spain, with special emphasis on the way as the trilogy of E. L. James has been received, as a contribution to the social and cultural Women’s History. Information about the construction of the taste of women, the use of their leisure, how they respond to what offers the publishing world, their power as consumers and users, and the ability to transform patriarchal patterns is done by subliterature, in addition to female resistance strategy, as feminist critics points.
