I believe so. The actual mechanism by which this happens probably varies a lot, but emotional abuse involves a lot of confusing, traumatic things that feel out of control. Daughters would have a hard time knowing what it's like to feel safe (which is crucial in developmental psychology), as well as understand and manage emotions, or feel empowered. These are things a child learns from his/her caregiver, so that caregiver has to know how to not only teach it, but be an example of it.
Get help if this question applies to you. No reason to think one would be able to tackle things like this alone.

Not passed on through birth, but it can be passed on.
Children tend to be like their parents, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad.
If the daughter feels that she was emotional abused by her mother, I would think that she would do everything in her power NOT to to the same thing to here own daughter.
