Answer: Both face lives that are similarly limited by their roles as women.

Explanation:

In "The Story of an Hour", when Mrs. Mallard thought that her husband had died, she was secretly thankful because she envisioned a better life without the oppression of marriage. When she realized that her husband was alive, she´s shocked that she dies of a heart attack, which the doctors ironically credit to a shock of happiness.  

In "A Pair of Silk Stockings", Mrs. Sommers spends all her money on things to herself instead of her children in an attempt to have a little escape from a life driven by family responsibilities.

Both of them have feelings of anguish for their roles as women, wives, and mothers, and experience a short time in which they envision how life could be without that oppressive environment.
